(intro) [G,C,D] [G,D,G,] [G,C,D] [G,D,G] (same as verses)

G                         C     D
See the moon is once more rising Above our land of black and green
G                           D    G
Hear the rebels voice is calling "I shall not die tho' you bury me"
G                     C  D
Hear the Aunt in bed a dying, "Where is my Johnny"
G                            D     G
Faded pictures in the hallway, which one of these brown ghosts is he?

G
Fare thee well my black haired diamond
         C  D
Fare thee well my own Aisling
G
Thoughts and dreams of you will haunt me
         D  G
'Til I come back home again

G,C,D, G,D,G X 1

    G          C
And the wind it blows to the North and South
    G           C/E
And it blows to the East and West
     G        C
And I'll be just like the wind my love
  G       Em
For I will have no rest
   G  C  D G
'Til I return to thee

G,C,D G,D,G X 2

And the wind it blows...

G,C,D G,D,G X 2

Bless the wind that shakes the barley, curse the spade and curse the plough
Waking in the morning early, I wish to Hell I was with you now
One, two, three telegraph poles, give me a drink of sweet poitin
Madness from the mountains crawling, when I first met you my own Aisling

Fare thee well... X 2

G,C,D G,D,G X 1

Fare thee well... X 2

G,C,D G,D,G X 2
