D A Bm D
The pylons found fault lines to run through the heart
D A Bm D
The heart of the land beat with odd fits and starts

So as to let the old die without power or pills

Dublin to Cork though you never heard told

D A Bm D
The ghost of O'Donahue scared not the lad
D A Bm D
Who in desert respect lost the smile he borne glad
D A Bm D
Sat quite chief and folorn and pitched with the spectre
D A Bm D
Escaped all exhaustions and prayers from the rector
Bm D Em11 D
And with glancing devout pulled a frown from his sack
Bm D Em11 A
Weighed with loaves from the oven and ale from the rack
Bridge: A-hammeron-Asus4
