-To Youth(My Sweet Roisin Dubh)
Verse 1:
C G
Tell me why must a man be of service
C G
To his lord and the god seldom high
C G
From the grave spring the name of our fathers
C Am D
But there's no glint in a dead man's eye
C G
Tell me why are our fields filled with hunger
C G
And fruitless the crop bitter soil
C G
So I say my farewell to a nation
C Am D
As the leaf waves goodbye to it's son
Chorus
C G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
C G
And it's of youth I sing it now
C G
Like the train that derails without warning
Am D
I must leave what I left far behind
C D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
G C G C G C G
I say goodbye
Verse 2:
C G
Tell me why must our peace be this puzzle
C G
That fractures the land, splinters war
C G
The last nails cite the shame in our coffin
C Am D
But in the end we must all die alone
Chorus
C G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
C G
And it's of youth I sing it now
C G
Like the train that derails without warning
Am D
I must leave what I left far behind
C D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
G C G C G C G
I say goodbye
Bridge:
D
And the bark fell from tree
C G
To the ground that they'll bleed
D G
On the anguish that never learned to shout
D
With the clash of the drum
C G
We'll surrender the gun
D G
and on this sadness we shall no longer speak
C G
Until time can live on our all forgotten songs
C D
That's when I and we will sing again
G C D G
So goodbye to my love, my sweet Roisin Dubh
G C G C D G G C G
Goodbye now until we meet again
C G
Tell me why must our grief still be greiving
C G
For a language that never spoke it's loss
C G
But this tongue speak with fire will tear down the barb wire
N.C.
And Rip the belly from the waxy ghost
Chorus
C G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
C G
And it's of youth I sing it now
C G
Like the train that derails without warning
Am D
I must leave what I left far behind
C G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
C G
And it's of youth I sing it now
C G
Like the train that derails without warning
Am D
I must leave what I left far behind
C D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
G C G C
I say goodbye
C D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
G C G C
I say goodbye
G C G C
Until we meet again
G C G C
Until we meet again
Until we meet...
Outro:
G
Then she arrives to beautify
D
But slumber now must rest
G
Oh my Roisin Dubh
C
I'll forever love
G D G
The youth you once possessed
That's it!!! Most of this song is mandolin driven. But sounds just fine on guitar as
