Generations Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GThey farmed in the Dfields and they Cworked in the Gfactories

CSurviving the Gcold and the Drain

GThey built the great Dland that they Ccall Emerald GIsle

CAmidst all theD hardships and Gpain

CThey came from the Dfields and the Gcities

 With their Cstrength and their Dsouls and their Emminds

CAnd they sang and they Gdanced to the Dtunes of old EmIreland

 So they Cnever would Dleave them behiGnd

They left from the docks all aboard sailing ships

To the strains of American Wakes

Once through Ellis Island they started the trip

With a dream of a new life to make

They came from the fields and the cities

With their strength and their souls and their minds

And they sang and they danced to the tunes of old Ireland

So they never would leave them behind

They work different jobs and they still raise their families

Surviving the changes and times

They gather in places to share in the music

And sing with the tunes and the rhymes

They came from the fields and the cities

With their strength and their souls and their minds

And they sang and they danced to the tunes of old Ireland

So they never would leave them behind

We come from the suburbs and cities

With our strength and our souls and our minds

And we sing and we dance to the tunes of old Ireland

So we never will leave them behind.
