Ireland Chords by Nathan Carter

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ They say Mother Earth is _ breathing
_ _ _ With each wave that finds the shore _ _
_ Her song rises [D] in the [A] evening
_ _ For to open _ twilight's _ door _
Her eyes [F#m] are the stars in [A] _
heaven
_ _ Watching over _ us [D] a while _ _
And her heart it is an [A] island
_ _ Deep within [E] the emerald _ [A] _ _ _ isle _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ We are forty against hundreds
And someone else's bloody war
_ _ We know not why we're fighting
_ Or what we're dying for
_ _ They [F#m] will storm us [A] in the morning
When the sunlight [D] turns to sky
Death is waiting [A] for its dance now
[E] Is it a sentence [A] just to _ die? _ _ _ _
[F#m] [D] Island, I'm [A] coming home
[D] I can see a [A] road that feels [F#m] green
As fences [E] made of stone
I [F#m] am [A] reaching out
Would you [D] take [A] my hand?
[F#m] I'm coming home, [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ Island _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, the captain he may bleed him
I can hear him calling me
_ These men are yours now [D] for the [A] leading
_ Show them to their [D] destiny
_ _ [A] _ As [F#m]
I look above [A] around me
I see them ragged, [D] tired and torn
And I tell them to [A] make ready
_ [E] As we're not waiting [A] for them _ _ more
_ [F#m] _
[D] Island, I'm coming [A] home
[D] I can see a [A] road that feels [F#m] green
As fences [E] made of stone
[F#m]
[A] I am reaching out
Would [D] you take [A] my hand?
I'm coming [F#m]
[D] home, [E] [A] Island
_ _ _ [D] _ [A]
Now _ _ _ _ _ the fog is deep and heavy
_ _ As we forge the darkened field
We can hear their horses breathing
_ _ As in silence we draw _ near
_ They're [F#m] on the [A] words we've spoken
_ Just enough to [D] say goodbye
I draw breath and [A] they're spoken
_ _ [E] As they scream a battle [A] _ _ cry _ _ _
[F#m] [D] Island, I'm coming [A] home
I [D] can see [F#m] a road that feels green
As fences [E] made of stone
[F#m] I am [E] reaching [A] out
[D] Would you [A] take my hand?
I'm coming [F#m]
home, [D] _ [A] Island
I'm [F#m] coming home, [D] _ [A] _ [D] Island _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
