[Verse 1]
Mary's eByes are startling blue
And her G#mhair's Newcastle gold
And she Ewalks the thin white line between the F#body and the soul
She's as fBaithful to her history
As a G#mnovice to his fast
For she's Estanding on the bones of Ireland's F#past
[Chorus]
She's Esinging of the troubles
And the Bfire in the Eland
'Til I can almost feel the Bfamine slipping F#through my trembling hand
And I Ewonder as I hear her,
That the Bspirit still shines Ethrough
And she can reach across the Bocean G#mdeep and bEreak my F#heart in twBo
[Verse 2]
Mary's wiBse and she is foolish
She's as G#mconstant as the tide
For it's a Ewoman's heart that beats beneath that F#stubborn Irish pride
We are Bsaints and we are sinners
We are G#mheros, we aF#re thieves
We are aEll of us beginners on the rF#oad to GalilBee
[Chorus]
She's Esinging of the troubles
And the Bfire in the Eland
'Til I can almost feel the Bfamine slipping F#through my trembling hand
And I Ewonder as I hear her,
That the Bspirit still shines Ethrough
And she can reach across the Bocean G#mdeep and bEreak my F#heart in tBwo
[Instrumental]
B G#m E F#
B G#m F# E
[Verse 3]
So let us Bhoist a pint of silence
To the G#meast where Ireland lies
And we will Estare across the waters
For a F#glimpse of Mary's eyes
We are Bships without a harbor
We are G#msailors on dry land
And the Esong goes on forever
Even F#though the record can't
[Chorus]
She's Esinging of the troubles
And the Bfire in the Eland
'Til I can almost feel the Bfamine slipping F#through my trembling hand
And I Ewonder as I hear her,
That the Bspirit still shines Ethrough
And she can reach across the Bocean G#mdeep and bEreak my F#heart in tBwo

Chords in this song · guitar

G#m

[Verse 1]

Mary's eyes are startling blue

G#m

And her hair's Newcastle gold

E F#

And she walks the thin white line between the body and the soul

She's as faithful to her history

G#m

As a novice to his fast

E F#

For she's standing on the bones of Ireland's past

[Chorus]

She's singing of the troubles

B E

And the fire in the land

B F#

'Til I can almost feel the famine slipping through my trembling hand

And I wonder as I hear her,

B E

That the spirit still shines through

B G#m E F# B

And she can reach across the ocean deep and break my heart in two

[Verse 2]

Mary's wise and she is foolish

G#m

She's as constant as the tide

E F#

For it's a woman's heart that beats beneath that stubborn Irish pride

We are saints and we are sinners

G#m F#

We are heros, we are thieves

E F# B

We are all of us beginners on the road to Galilee

[Chorus]

She's singing of the troubles

B E

And the fire in the land

B F#

'Til I can almost feel the famine slipping through my trembling hand

And I wonder as I hear her,

B E

That the spirit still shines through

B G#m E F# B

And she can reach across the ocean deep and break my heart in two

[Instrumental]

B G#m E F#

B G#m F# E

[Verse 3]

So let us hoist a pint of silence

G#m

To the east where Ireland lies

And we will stare across the waters

For a glimpse of Mary's eyes

We are ships without a harbor

G#m

We are sailors on dry land

And the song goes on forever

Even though the record can't

[Chorus]

She's singing of the troubles

B E

And the fire in the land

B F#

'Til I can almost feel the famine slipping through my trembling hand

And I wonder as I hear her,

B E

That the spirit still shines through

B G#m E F# B

And she can reach across the ocean deep and break my heart in two
