No More Paddys Lament(Chords)

	        
verse 1 

         B                            F#m 
Wipe the blood from your lip with the flesh of your hand 
           B                         A 
There's no thorn in the side left to grow 
         B                           F#m 
So let's cherish the names that were lost for an age 
         D           A           B 
With the rue now the supper must go 
         B                          F#m 
Where traditions they blend lives a home on the mend 
    B                          A 
The grass glistens now for all fights 
         B                       F#m 
So let's sever the shame we have come to reclaim 
         D         A              B 
With the water's retreat feel the shore 

Pre-Chorus 1 

         E5                   A                    B 
When the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more 
           E5                         A                      F#m 
Though the ghost still haunts for the day we've come to live for 


           D                A 
Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved 
    F#m                         A 
The exiled are home where their souls are kept safe 
        D           A 
Take me back on the crest of a wave 
        B              A         B 
No more tears for your paddy's lament 
        D 
No more tears 
        A 
No more paddy's 
  B 
Lament 


verse 2 
        B                                F#m 
Rip the greed from his heart, there's no sorrow tonight 
        B                           A 
For now once paddy's dreams sleep divine 
          B                      F#m 
Where the silence ya hear is the prosper we share 
         D          A           B 
The only blade is a razor sharp smile 

Pre-Chorus 2 
          E5                   A                           B 
Still the church bell rings to collect the sins that still roam 
        E5                     A                    F#m 
But the only thing lost is the pain of nothing once more 


           D                A 
Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved 
    F#m                         A 
The exiled are home where their souls are kept safe 
        D           A 
Take me back on the crest of a wave 
        B              A         B 
No more tears for your paddy's lament 
        D 
No more tears 
        A 
No more paddy's 
  B 
Lament

verse 3 
         B                  N.C. 
Grab the leaf of the branch from the tree in its ground 
        B                         N.C. 
Where the roots claimed the earth many toiled 
          B               N.C. 
To a land that now stands under no one's command 
        D          A         B 
And her beauty let no man destroy 
     B                      F#m 
So remember the gun and the damage it's done 
         B                                 A 
The last drop has been spilled for you and I 
          B                     F#m 
Let there be no despair for the rule we once shared 
          D             A              B 
Brush the tear from the eye that still shines 

Pre-Chorus 1 
         E5                   A                    B 
When the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more 
           E5                         A                      F#m 
Though the ghost still haunts for the day we've come to live for 


           D                A 
Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved 
    F#m                         A 
The exiled are home where their souls are kept safe 
        D           A 
Take me back on the crest of a wave 
        B              A         B 
No more tears for your paddy's lament 
        D 
No more tears 
        A 
No more paddy's 
  B 
Lament 

           D                A 
Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved 
    F#m                         A 
The exiled are home where their souls are kept safe 
        D           A 
Take me back on the crest of a wave 
        B              A         B 
No more tears for your paddy's lament 
        D 
No more tears 
        A 
No more paddy's 
  B 
Lament
