INTRO: G Em Am C G Em Am D G Em There are people in the world tonight who are weeping 'cause they're glad Am C Their war songs all are happy, their love songs all are sad G Em People ache and then be there, then always wish them well Am D G They'll love you like a brother back, then fight amongst themselves CHORUS: Em Bm Am And it's my blood running through their rivers Em Bm Am My blood running through their pains C Dsus4 G C My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar Am C Em C G My blood washing through their veins______ Em They always drink the parting glass and leave the shamrock shores Am C That's why you find them flocking home with open arms and doors G Em They miss their native country like mothers miss their sons Am D G They'll sing all night of going back, but that day never comes CHORUS: Em Bm Am And it's my blood running through their rivers Em Bm Am My blood running through their pains C Dsus4 G C My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar Am C Em C G My blood washing through their veins______ INSTRUMENTAL: G Em Am C G Em Am D G CHORUS: Em Bm Am And it's my blood running through their rivers Em Bm Am My blood running through their pains C Dsus4 G C My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar Am C Em C G My blood washing through their veins______ Em Their loving land was never mine, to missing call my own Am C Their histories and struggles are not the ones I've known G Em But I've worn their scars with pride enough and winced with pain they felt Am D G And rant and cried with the busted ones, with each hand they've been dealt CHORUS: Em Bm Am And it's my blood running through their rivers Em Bm Am My blood running through their pains C Dsus4 G C My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar Am C Em C My blood washing through their veins___ CHORUS: Em Bm Am My blood running through their rivers Em Bm Am My blood running through their pains C Dsus4 G C My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar Am C Em C G My blood washing through their veins______ OUTRO: G Em Am D G
