To Youth My Sweet Roisin Dubh Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 Tell me Cwhy must a man be of Gservice

 To his Clord and the god seldom Ghigh

 From the Cgrave spring the name of our Gfathers

 But there's no Cglint in a Amdead man's Deye

 Tell me Cwhy are our fields filled with Ghunger

 And fCruitless the crop bitter Gsoil

 So I Csay my farewell to a Gnation

 As the Cleaf waves Amgoodbye to it's Dson

Chorus

 So it's to Cyouth I sing you this Gstory

 And it's of Cyouth I sing it Gnow

 Like the Ctrain that derails without Gwarning

 I must Amleave what I left far beDhind

 So goodCbye, sweet RoisiDn Dubh

 I say GgooCdbyGe C G C G

Verse 2

 Tell me Cwhy must our peace be this Gpuzzle

 That Cfractures the land, splinters Gwar

 The last Cnails cite the shame in our Gcoffin

 But in the Cend we must Amall die Dalone

Chorus

 So it's to Cyouth I sing you this Gstory

 And it's of Cyouth I sing it Gnow

 Like the Ctrain that derails without Gwarning

 I must Amleave what I left far beDhind

 So goodCbye, sweet RoisiDn Dubh

 I say GgooCdbyGe C G C G

Bridge

 And the Dbark fell from tree

 To the Cground that they'll Gbleed

 On the Danguish that never learned to Gshout

 With the Dclash of the drum

 We'll Csurrender the Ggun

 and on this Dsadness we shall no longer Gspeak

 Until Ctime can live on our aGll forgotten songs

 That's when CI and we will sing aDgain

 So gooGdbye to my Clove, my Dsweet Roisin GDubh

 GooGdbye now unCtil we meet aGgaiCn D G G C G

 Tell me Cwhy must our grief still be Ggreiving

 For a Clanguage that never spoke it's Gloss

 But this Ctongue speak with fire will tear Gdown the barb wire

 And CRip the belly from the waxy ghost

Chorus

 So it's to Cyouth I sing you this Gstory

 And it's of Cyouth I sing it Gnow

 Like the Ctrain that derails without Gwarning

 I must Amleave what I left far beDhind

 So it's to Cyouth I sing you this Gstory

 And it's of Cyouth I sing it Gnow

 Like the Ctrain that derails without Gwarning

 I must Amleave what I left far beDhind

 So goodCbye, sweet RoisiDn Dubh

 I say GgooCdbyGe C

 So gooCdbye, sweet RoisiDn Dubh

 I say GgooCdbyGe C

 Until we meet aGgaiCn G C

 Until we meet aGgaiCn G C

Until we meet...
