The Willows - Shores



INTRO: G  C

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

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


CHORUS:
Em             C          G
Landing on the shores of America
       Em                 C           G
He was bound to make some money, somehow



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


CHORUS:
Em             C          G
Landing on the shores of America
       Em                 C           G
He was bound to make some money, somehow
Em             C          G
Landing on the shores of America
         Em                C           G
Well, he sure as hell made money, somehow

He has a wife and three children
                   C
They are scared to death
G
No idea if he'll return
C
Pray for him every day


   G
He sent home four tickets
        C
For his wife and his three young kids
   G
He wrote in a note, to get on a boat
    C
And join in a land of the free
