The Willows - Shores
INTRO: G  C  
There Gwas a young man from Ireland
Who Csailed across the sea
He Gleft his family in Dublin
Could Cnot afford to set them free
He Gcrossed the great ocean
CTo America
He Ghoped his fortunes would change
One Cday he would return
CHORUS:
EmLanding on the Cshores of AGmerica
He was Embound to make some Cmoney, somehGow
Picked up a job for the railways
CLaying track as far as you can see
The Gpay was small, but he saved it all
To Cstay in this great country
CHORUS:
EmLanding on the Cshores of AGmerica
He was Embound to make some Cmoney, somehGow
EmLanding on the Cshores of AGmerica
Well, he Emsure as hell made Cmoney, somehGow
INSTRUMENTAL: Em   C   G   Em   C  G  
He has a wife and three children
They are scared to Cdeath
GNo idea if he'll return
CPray for him every day
He Gsent home four tickets
For his Cwife and his three young kids
He Gwrote in a note, to get on a boat
And Cjoin in a land of the free
CHORUS:
EmLanding on the Cshores of AGmerica
He was Embound to make some Cmoney, somehGow
EmLanding on the Cshores of AGmerica
Well, he Emsure as hell made Cmoney, somehGow
CHORUS:
EmLanding on the Cshores of AGmerica
He was Embound to make some Cmoney, somehGow
EmLanding on the Cshores of AGmerica
Well, he Emsure as hell made Cmoney, somehGow
