Christy Moore - Green island

The ^Fisland ^Clies like a ^Amleaf upon the ^Fsea Green ^Fisland ^Clike a leaf new ^Amfallen from the ^Ftree ^GGreen turns to ^Amgold As ^Dmmorning breezes ^Cgently shake the ^Gbarley ^EmBending the ^Gyellow ^Amcorn ^GGreen turns to ^Amgold, There´s ^Dmpurple shadows ^Con the distant ^Gmountains And the ^Emsun in the ^Gyellow ^Amcorn

They ^Fcame in their ^Clongships from ^Amlands beyond the ^Fsea They ^Fcame in their ^Clongships, they ^Amsaw the land was ^Fgreen ^GWind in the ^Ambarley, ^DmTrout and salmon ^Cleaping in the ^Grivers ^EmSun in the ^Gyellow ^Amcorn ^GLeaping a^Am shore They ^Dmslaughtered those who ^Claboured in the ^Gbarley ^EmScything them ^Gdown like ^Amcorn

The ^Flongships ^Csailed away and ^Amnew invaders ^Fcame With ^Flong bow and ^Clance bringing ^Amdeath in England´s ^Fname With ^Gsword and with ^Ammace They went ^Dmreaping through the ^Cfields of ^Gbarley They ^Emplundered the ^Gyellow ^Amcorn ^GCrop followed ^Amcrop And ^Dmprospered in the ^Ckilling fields of ^Gbarley In the ^Emharvest of ^Gnew young ^Amcorn

^FMarching ^Cdown the years the ^Ammen of war they ^Fcame With ^Fbombs, a^Cssassin´s bullets, ^Amc.s gas and ^Fguns ^GGhosts from the ^Ampast Are ^Dmchasing shadows ^Cthrough the fields of ^Gbarley ^EmHiding in the ^Gyellow ^Amcorn ^GNine hundred ^Amyears They´ve ^Dmtried to trap the ^Cwind that shakes the ^Gbarley And the ^Emsun in the ^Gyellow ^Amcorn

The ^Fisland ^Clies like a ^Amleaf upon the ^Fsea Green ^Fisland ^Clike a leaf new ^Amfallen from the ^Ftree ^GGreen turns to ^Amgold As ^Dmmorning breezes ^Cgently shake the ^Gbarley ^EmBending the ^Gyellow ^Amcorn ^GNo force on ^Amearth Can ^Dmever trap the ^Cwind that shakes the ^Gbarley Or the ^Emsun in the ^Gyellow ^Amcorn
