Вступление
[Verse 1]
D G
Kids wear white garters and smell like their mothers
C G
Whose husbands and fathers alike
D C
Drink black beer in the same public houses
C D G
Smelling of smoke and strong whiskey
D G
Mammies and daddies and skipping ropes
C G
Lectures from priests, living in hope
D C
They've not mistaken the brand of their coats
C D G
Paid for by their spiritual teachings
D G
A busy year this, the streets running red
C G
How many sent to a nuptial bed
D C
And how many sent home to a winter of graves
C D G
And how many wait in for the slaughter
[Chorus]
G C D
Oh the holy ground
C Am D
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see
G C D
Oh the holy ground
C Am D
The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be'
[Verse 2]
D G
It's Easter again and we cannot forget
C G
Brothers and sisters and all that was said
D C
So practice your pipes, stand proud in the wet
C D G
For the eyes of the world are upon you
D G
Kellys seventeen and he thinks he's a man
C G
He's out on the street with a gun in his hand
D C
He's Protecting the pipers that play in the band
C D G
While the enemy waits with an army
D G
Dia le hEireann, suckle the empire
C G
Dia le hEireann, suffer the loss
D C
Of the green and the red and the orange white and blue
C D G
And the blood and the pain and the hatred
[Chorus]
G C D
Oh the holy ground
C Am D
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see
G C D
Oh the holy ground
C Am D
The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be
[Verse 3]
D G
God in his mercy has given us men
C G
To lead us to peace but they can't put an end
D C
To all those young women who are leaving the land
C D G
Flying frightened over the water
D G
Father walks home on the colourless night
C G
And the organisation has blinded his sight
D G
His wife and his kids are sleeping tonight
C D
In the arms of sweet Jesus and Mary
[Chorus]
G C D
Oh the holy ground
C Am D
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see
G C D
Oh the holy ground
C Am D
The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be
[Outro]
D G
Kids wear white garters and smell like their mothers
C G
Whose husbands and fathers alike
D C
Drink black beer in the same public houses
C D G
Smelling of smoke and strong whiskey
C D G
Smelling of smoke and strong whiskey
