CAPO 1
G
Intro is cold open with one strum on
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
(Just one strum per cord)
G
They say mother earth is breathing
G
With each wave that finds the shore
G
Her soul rises in the evening
G
For to open twilights door
Em G
Her eyes are the stars in heaven
C
Watching o'er us all the while
G D
And her heart it is in Ireland
G
Deep within the Emerald Isle
[Verse 2]
(Begin Struming)
G
We are forty against hundreds
G
In someone else's bloody war
G
We know not why were fighting
G
Or what we're dying for
Em G
They will storm us in the morning
C
When the sunlight turns to sky
G D
Death is waiting for it's dance now
G
Fate has sentenced us to die
[Chorus]
Em C G
Ireland I am coming home
C G
I can see your rolling fields of green
Em D
And fences made of stone
Em G C G
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
Em C G
I'm coming home I-re-land
[Verse 3]
G
Oh the captain he lay bleeding
G
I can hear him calling me
G
These men are yours now for the leading
G
Show them to their destiny
Em G
As I look up all around me
C
I see the ragged tired and torn
G D
I tell them to make ready
G
'Cause we're not waiting for the morn
[Chorus]
Em C G
Ireland I am coming home
C G
I can see your rolling fields of green
Em D
And fences made of stone
Em G C G
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
Em C G
I'm coming home I-re-land
[Verse 4]
(palm mute)
G
Now the fog is deep and heavy
G
As we forge the dark and fear
G
We can hear their horses breathing
G
As in silence we draw near
Em G
There are no words to be spoken
C
Just a look to say good-bye
G D
I draw a breath and night is broken
G
As I scream our battle cry
[Chorus]
Em C G
Ireland I am coming home
C G
I can see your rolling fields of green
Em D
And fences made of stone
Em G C G
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
Em C G
I'm coming home I-re-land
[Outro]

We were forty against hundreds
