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 C.Rip 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...
