CWinding (x32010@1)roads,
AmShadows (x02210@1)are frightening,
F (133211@1)                                      CFrom (x32010@1)mountains that reach toward the sky
COn (x32010@1)my way,
AmBut (x02210@1)blurred by the vision,

F (133211@1)                                CFor (x32010@1)answers to all of these rhymes
CI (x32010@1)try to unleash
EmMy (022000@1)uncharted anger that's
F (133211@1)                        GBurning (320003@1)and tearing inside

         F (133211@1)       GWell (320003@1)I'll try to find
         F (133211@1)       GBut (320003@1)I know it's behind
         F (133211@1)       GAll (320003@1)the walls that all
         CCover (x32010@1)my fate
         F (133211@1)       GWell (320003@1)I'll try to listen
         F (133211@1)       GTo (320003@1)the rush of the wind
         CAs (x32010@1)it brands and batters

** Stop Hitting Chords **
Aaron's Part : 
Me mother and father were Irish
And I am Irish too
I bought a wee petal for nine cents (Not really sure of this line)
And it is Irish too

** Start playing the C Am F C progression again **
I'm up in the morning early
To greet the dawn of day
Me mother and father were Irish
And I am Irish too...

Finish on the C chord

Josh's Part : (He sings the same line repeatedly)
I will not bow to the English, Oh no.
