** Stop Hitting Chords **
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
I will not bow to the English, Oh no.

Standard Tuning

Winding roads,

Shadows are frightening,

F C

From mountains that reach toward the sky

On my way,

But blurred by the vision,

F C

That you have been telling me lies

Up, down,

I'm searching over

F C

For answers to all of these rhymes

I try to unleash

My uncharted anger that's

F G

Burning and tearing inside

F G

Well I'll try to find

F G

But I know it's behind

F G

All the walls that all

Cover my fate

F G

Well I'll try to listen

F G

To the rush of the wind

As it brands and batters

my brain

C Am F C

x 2

You say,

I cannot trust you,

F C

In the words that you've spoken before

Well I just

Play back the memories,

F C

Of times when I laid on the floor

Can this be true

It's so hard to believe

F C

How can anyone be so damn mean?

Well I just

Walk through the shadows

F G

Impatient and weary inside

F G

Well I'll try to find

F G

But I know it's behind

F G

All the walls that all

Cover my fate

F G

Well I'll try to listen

F G

To the rush of the wind

As it brands and batters

My brain
