[Eb] [Bb] the shores [Eb] of the Swilly, [Bb] two children [Eb] at play,
[Bb] The king of [Cm] the castle, [Bb] the queen of [Eb] the [F] maze.
[Bb] Just me and [Eb] my sister [Bb] in a world of [Eb] pretend,

[Dm] By [Bb] the shores of the [Eb] Swilly, [Bb] with an aching [Eb] inside,
[Bb] I watch [Eb] as her body [Bb] is raised from [Eb] the [F]

Her [Bb]
life is [Eb] being taken and [Bb] I'll never [G] know [Eb] why,
[Bb] But I feel in [Cm] that moment [Bb] a [Eb] part [F] of me [Bb] dies.
