[Verse 1]
The Fisland Clies like a Amleaf upon the Fsea
Green Fisland Clike a leaf new Amfallen from the Ftree
GGreen turns to Amgold
As Dmmorning breezes Cgently shake the Gbarley
EmBending the Gyellow Amcorn
GGreen turns to Amgold,
There´s Dmpurple shadows Con the distant Gmountains
And the Emsun in the Gyellow Amcorn
[Verse 2]
They Fcame in their Clongships from Amlands beyond the Fsea
They Fcame in their Clongships, they Amsaw the land was Fgreen
GWind in the Ambarley,
DmTrout and salmon Cleaping in the Grivers
EmSun in the Gyellow Amcorn
GLeaping a Amshore
They Dmslaughtered those who Claboured in the Gbarley
EmScything them Gdown like Amcorn
[Verse 3]
The Flongships Csailed away and Amnew invaders Fcame
With Flong bow and Clance bringing Amdeath in England´s Fname
With Gsword and with Ammace
They went Dmreaping through the Cfields of Gbarley
They Emplundered the Gyellow Amcorn
GCrop followed Amcrop
And Dmprospered in the Ckilling fields of Gbarley
In the Emharvest of Gnew young Amcorn
[Verse 4]
FMarching Cdown the years the Ammen of war they Fcame
With Fbombs, aCssassin´s bullets, Amc.s gas and Fguns
GGhosts from the Ampast
Are Dmchasing shadows Cthrough the fields of Gbarley
EmHiding in the Gyellow Amcorn
GNine hundred Amyears
They´ve Dmtried to trap the Cwind that shakes the Gbarley
And the Emsun in the Gyellow Amcorn
[Verse 5]
The Fisland Clies like a Amleaf upon the Fsea
Green Fisland Clike a leaf new Amfallen from the Ftree
GGreen turns to Amgold
As Dmmorning breezes Cgently shake the Gbarley
EmBending the Gyellow Amcorn
GNo force on Amearth
Can Dmever trap the Cwind that shakes the Gbarley
Or the Emsun in the Gyellow Amcorn
