Troubles of Erin

(CAPO 2)


Verse:
G+G  C majorC     FF      C majorC
O remember when civil rights Marches
                G+G
Were battered with clubs to the ground
    FF     G+G     C majorC
and the very first squady to lay down his body
  FF             G+G
and part with his soul for the crown

CHORUS (after every verse)
G+G    C majorC      FF    C majorC
May the troubles of Erin be over
              G+G
May the bauble of peace be preserved
    FF     G+G      C majorC
May the white dove inspire the children of ireland
 FF           G+G
peace is the least they deserve
(REPEAT ON LAST CHORUS)


Verse:
G+G  C majorC        FF     C majorC
And remembeber that old bloody sunday
              G+G
when troops opened fire on the crowd
    FF     G+G      C majorC
and the people of derry! they came round to bury
   FF              G+G
there loved ones and paid for the shroud


G+G  C majorC      FF   C majorC
And the tragedy of eniskilin
                G+G
the bomb broke the heart of the town
    FF    G+G    C majorC
and an elderly man who held out his hand
    FF            G+G
to the killer who cut his girl down

G+G    C majorC      FF      C majorC
And the boys in the bar room at points bar
               G+G
were freinds who could see no divide
    FF   G+G     C majorC
A augmentedA cold henous crime cut them in there prime
   FF              G+G
There blood was as one where they died


G+G   C majorC      FF         C majorC
O the prisons are filled with there numbers
               G+G
The angry, the anguished, the shamed
    FF     G+G         C majorC
but the wire must come down! in each county and town
    FF            G+G
for the ghosts of the past to be lain


G+G    C majorC      FF   C majorC
So lets pray for the day of forgivness
               G+G
when weaping and wailing must cease
    FF       G+G    C majorC
and may love recononcile all of Erin's green aisle
    FF            G+G
May the living and dead rest in peace.
