C
See the bright new moon is rising,
FCG
Above the land of black and green
C
Hear the rebels voices calling,
FCGC
I will not die 'till you bury me
CFC
The aunt upstairs in the bed she is calling,
FCG
Why has he forsaken me
CFC
Faded pictures in the hallway,
FCGC
Which one of them brown ghosts is he
C
Bless the wind that shakes the barley,
FCG
Curse the spade and curse the plough
CFC
I've counted years and weeks and days,
FCGC
And I wish to God I was with you now
CF
Fare thee well me black-haired diamond,
CG
Fare thee well me own Aisling
CFCF
At night fond dreams of you still haunt me,
CFGC
Far across the grey north sea
FG
And the wind it blows from the North and South,
FG
To the East And to the West
FG
I will be like the wind my love,
FAmCFGC
For I will know no rest 'till I return to thee
Am
1, 2, 3 telegraph poles,
FGAm
Standing on the cold black road
The night is fading into morning,
FGAm
Give us a drop of your sweet poitin
Am
The rain was lashing - the sun was rising,
FGAm
The wind was howling through the trees
The madness from the mountains crawling,
FGAm
When I saw you first my own Aisling
C
Bless the wind that shakes the barley,
FCG
Curse the spade and curse the plough
CFC
I've counted years and weeks and days,
FCGC
And I wish to God I was with you now
CF
Fare thee well me black-haired diamond,
CG
Fare thee well me own Aisling
CFCF
At night fond dreams of you still haunt me,
CFGC
Far across the grey north sea
Lots of Love,
