A5

 C5                       
See the bright new moon is rising,
 F5                  C5       G5
Above the land of black and green
 C5             
Hear the rebels voices calling,
    F5       C5              G5   C5
I will not die 'till you bury me

      C5                   F5            C5
The aunt upstairs in the bed she is calling,
  F5            C5    G5  
Why has he forsaken me
   C5            F5        C5
Faded pictures in the hallway,
   F5           C5           G5       C5
Which one of them brown ghosts is he

  C5                    
Bless the wind that shakes the barley,
  F5                   C5         G5
Curse the spade and curse the plough
  C5                      F5        C5
I've counted years and weeks and days,
        F5      C5          G5       C5
And I wish to God I was with you now

 C5                   F5             
Fare thee well me black-haired diamond,
 C5                       G5
Fare thee well me own Aisling
 C5         F5             C5          F5
At night fond dreams of you still haunt me,
 C5     F5          G5        C5
Far across the grey north sea
        
         F5                      G5
And the wind it blows from the North and South,
 F5                       G5
To the East And to the West
   F5                 G5
I will be like the wind my love,
   F5                 A5    C5      F5     G5   C5
For I will know no rest 'till I return to thee

A5           
1, 2, 3 telegraph poles,
    F5             G5          A5
Standing on the cold black road
The night is fading into morning,
 F5                        G5    A5
Give us a drop of your sweet poitin

      A5
The rain was lashing - the sun was rising,
      F5                  G5         A5
The wind was howling through the trees
The madness from the mountains crawling,
      F5          G5             A5
When I saw you first my own Aisling

  C5                    
Bless the wind that shakes the barley,
  F5                   C5         G5
Curse the spade and curse the plough
  C5                      F5        C5
I've counted years and weeks and days,
        F5      C5          G5       C5
And I wish to God I was with you now

 C5                   F5             
Fare thee well me black-haired diamond,
 C5                       G5
Fare thee well me own Aisling
 C5         F5             C5          F5
At night fond dreams of you still haunt me,
 C5     F5          G5        C5
Far across the grey north sea

Lots of Love,

Bart
