D             A      Bm                D 
We left our homes in the spring sunshine 
D               A         Bm       D 
Things came alive when I knew they weren't mine 
D           A        Bm            D 
Falling in line didn't matter at all 
D              A         Bm             D 
We knew we'd go when we each heard the call

D                 A            Bm                D 
The pylons found fault lines to run through the heart 
D                 A             Bm            D 
The heart of the land beat with odd fits and starts 
D                       A         Bm         D 
So they ran round the oldest and grey of the hills 
D                     A          Bm       D 
So as to let the old die without power or pills

D             A      Bm                D 
Dublin to Cork though you never heard told 
D                      A       Bm             D 
There's a line of good men with eyes wet and bold 
D                      A             Bm             D 
Where they weep for the crows bearing twigs for the nest 
D             A           Bm                D 
Changing the shape of the trees they loved best

Bridge D, A, Em11, Em7 

D              A          Bm         D 
The ghost of O'Donahue scared not the lad 
D               A              Bm              D 
Who in desert respect lost the smile he borne glad 
D                    A           Bm              D 
Sat quite chief and folorn and pitched with the spectre 
D              A             Bm              D 
Escaped all exhaustions and prayers from the rector 
Bm       D                  Em11                    D 
And with glancing devout pulled a frown from his sack 
Bm                           D         Em11           A 
Weighed with loaves from the oven and ale from the rack

In the last days of my life 
                 Em11              Dsus2 
Oh I won't know whether to laugh or cry
