Intro: C5 , C5 , A5 , F5 , A5 , G5 , F5

     C5        C5          A5           F5
What makes me walk through Ireland's shrines
     A5       G5        C5
And Ireland's holy shores
   C5     C5     A5      F5
To see a country crucified
     A5     G5           C5
Your beauty crowned in thorns
    C5    C5        A5        F5
And as I watch that wondrous cross
            D5            G5        G5
That's been hewn down and severed in two
        C5         A5
There's something here
      F5        A5
That draws me near
    F5        G5        C5
To wear the green for you 


C5 , G5 , A5 , F5 , C5 , G5 , C5


   C5       C5         A5        F5
To see you there blood brother Gael
     A5        G5        C5
The face, the tongue my own
     C5      C5   A5       F5
Many places in my own country
          A5           G5       C5
Could not make me feel more at home
C5            C5   A5            F5
Laughter and music through the night
     D5      G5     G5
Your freedom in the dark
   C5      A5        F5       A5
Tonight I swear I'd gladly wear
     F5         G5      C5
The green next to my heart



C5    G5  A5        F5  C5    G5   C5
E---irinn            E----irinn



From the long and rolling Antrim hills
Through the wilds of Donegal
The songs of history are sung
Every stone on every wall
But here in our land how can we stand
And wash our hands of shame
When the sins of generations fall
Across the green like rain


Here one world window opens wide
And demons they show face
Some of your men have taken seeds of truth
And planted fields of hate
This way has never won a war
And I fear that when the harvest comes
You'll see your freedom fall on stoney ground
And the green overgrown 

[Chorus]

Enjoy!
