AmSilenced by G6death in the gEmrave, ah ah ah Amah
AmW B G6Yeats couldn't sEmave, ah ah ah Amah
AmWhy did you G6stand here
G6Were you sEmickened in time
EmBut I know by Amnow
AmWhy did you G6sit here, ah ah Emah
[Chorus]
EmIn the AmgraveG6  
G6In the grEmave, grave, grave
In the AmgraveG6  
In the Emgrave, grave, grave
(W. B. Yeats "Second" Spoken)
AmWhy should I blame her,
G6that she filled my days
EmWith misery or that she would of late
AmHave taught to ignorant G6men most violent ways
EmOr hurled the little streets upon the Amgreat
Had they but G6courage
EmEqual to desire
[Verse 2]
AmSad that Maud GG6onne couldn't sEmtay, ah ah ah Amah
AmBut she had MacG6Bride anyEmway, ah ah ah Amah
Amand you sit here with me
on the G6Isle Innisfree
and your Emwriting down anything
But I know by Amnow
Why did you G6sit here, ah ah Emah
[Chorus]
EmIn the AmgraveG6  
G6In the grEmave, grave, grave
In the AmgraveG6  
In the Emgrave, grave, grave
(spoken)
AmWhy should I G6blame her,
EmHad they but courage equal to desireAm
