Verse 1
N.C. Implemented Chords Are In ()'s

(A)
They say mother earth is breathing

With each wave that finds the shore

Her soul rises in the evening

For to open twilights door
        (F#m)         (E)  (A)
Her eyes are the stars in heaven
                        (D)
Watching o'er us all the while
                      (A)       (D)
And her heart it is in Ireland
                       (A)
Deep within the Emerald Isle

Verse 2

We are fourty against hundreds

In someone elses bloody war

We know not why we're fighting

Or what we're dying for,

          F#m         G#     A                            D
They will storm us in the morning, when the sunlight turns the sky

                         A          E
Death is waiting for its dance now
                        A
Fate has sentenced us to die


CHORUS
F#m     D           A
Ireland I am coming home
      D                     A
I can see your rolling fields of green
    F#m               E
And fences made of stone
     F#m      A              D       A
I am reaching out, won't you take my hand?
           F#m  A E      A
I'm coming home I-re-land

Verse 3 (Same Chords As Above Verse)

Oh, the Captian he lays bleeding
I can hear him calling me
These are your men for the leading
Show them to there destiny
And as I look up all around me
I see the ragged, tired and torn
I tell them to make ready,
'Cause were not waiting for the morn'

CHORUS

Verse 4
                        A
Now the fog is deep and heavy, as we forge the dark and fear
