Chords for 21 Years + On Screen Lyrics ----- Dermot Hegarty

_ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ The judge said, stand up [F] lad and dry up your tears.
_ You're sentenced to dart more for [Bb] 21 years.
_ So dry up your tears, [Gm] babe, and kiss [Cm] me goodbye. _ _
The best [F] friend must part, babe, so [Bb] must you and I.
_ I hear the train coming, [F] will be here at night.
_ To take me to dart more, to [Bb] serve up my time. _
_ I look down the railway, [Gm] and plainly [Cm] I see. _
You're standing [F] there waving your [Bb] goodbye to me.
_ Six months have gone by, [F] babe, I wish I were dead.
This cold dreary _ dungeon and [Bb] stone for my bed.
_ It's raining, it's hailing, [Gm] the [Cm] moon gives no light. _
Now will you [F] tell me, babe, why you [Bb] never lie?
_ [G] _ I've counted [C] the days, babe, [G] I've counted the nights.
_ I've counted the footsteps, I've [C] counted the lies. _
_ I've counted the _ [Am] raindrops, I've counted [Dm] the stars. _
I've counted [G] a million of [C] these prison bars.
_ _ I waited, I trusted, [G] I longed for the day.
_ A lifetime so lonely, now my [C] hair is turning grey.
_ All my thoughts are for you, babe, [Am] till I'm out of [Dm] my _ mind.
For twenty [G]-one years is a [C] mighty long time.
_ _ [G] For twenty-one years is a mighty [C] long time. _ _ _ _
