The Willows - Shores


INTRO: G+G C majorC

   G+G
There was a young man from Ireland
  C majorC
Who sailed across the sea
  G+G
He left his family in Dublin
   C majorC
Could not afford to set them free

  G+G
He crossed the great ocean
C majorC
To America
  G+G
He hoped his fortunes would change
  C majorC
One day he would return


CHORUS:
E minorEm       C majorC     G+G
Landing on the shores of America
    E minorEm         C majorC      G+G
He was bound to make some money, somehow


Picked up a job for the railways
C majorC
Laying track as far as you can see
  G+G
The pay was small, but he saved it all
  C majorC
To stay in this great country

He has a wife and three children

G+G
No idea if he'll return
C majorC
Pray for him every day


  G+G
He sent home four tickets
    C majorC
For his wife and his three young kids

He wrote in a note, to get on a boat
  C majorC
And join in a land of the free
