Troubles of Erin

(CAPO 2)


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


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

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



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



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



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



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