Lyrics:
ntro: a G e 4x Strophe: a F G a ´Twas in 1847 when the famine came to reign, a G a And multitudes of Irishmen had to leave their land. a C G From Sligo down to Kerry, from Wexford to Donegal a F G D People grabbed their few belongings to join the trek to Dublin town.
Bridge: a G D 2x
Übergang: a F 4x
Mighty vessels lay at anchor, ready for the dreadful ride Across the never ending ocean to a land that´s far and wild, Eighty days in muck and fever, eighty days in hope and pain, On the coffin ships they suffered, but their efforts were in vain.
Refrain: a F G a On their long way to Australia, Canada or Yankeeland, a G a Many died for their convictions, others for beloved friends. a C G And the ocean wide and deadly, buried corpses of the brave, a F G a They will never see the shamrock, never see their homes again.
Strophe: When they reached the shores of Quebec, they remembered Erin´s Isle, All the friends they had to leave there for a new life worth to find All the struggles and the sorrow, broken dreams, their hopes and fear, Thousands died on the Atlantic on their trip to destiny.
Solo: Akkorde wie Ref.
When in 1851 the scaring nightmare disappears, Had the countenance of Ireland turned to mass graves and despair. By starvation died a million and a triple did emigrate From their own beloved country to a world of lies and hate.
Schluß: a F 4x
