This song is called Aisling.
Aisling is a woman's name, but it's also the Irish word for a dream.
And I was talking to Shane backstage in Finsbury Park some years ago, and he told me about this lyric, and he sent it over to me.
And I just started singing it.
Look at how the bright new moon is [F#] rising above the land of black [G#m] and green.
[C#] Listen to the rebel voices calling, I'll not die, though you bury me.
The aunt upstairs in the bed she's calling, [F#] why is he [C#]
[G#] forsaking me?
[C#] Say the pictures in the hallway, which of them round us see?
[A#m]
Lest the wind that shakes the barley curse the spell and curse the plough.
I counted the years and the weeks and days, and I wish [D#] to God that I was with you [A#m] now.
[D#] [C#] Fare thee well, [F#] my blackheart darling, [C#] fare thee well, [G#] my Aisling.
[C#] At night when dreams do you still haunt me, [G#] far across the [F#] greener sea.
[G#m] [F#] And the wind blows, [G#m] north and south, [F#]
to the east and to [G#m] the west.
[F#]
I'll be like [G#m] the wind, my love, [F#]
I will [G#m] know no rest [F#] until I [G#] return [C#] today.
[A#m]
One, two, three, four, telegraph poles burning under cold black roads.
The night is bursting into morning, give us a [D#] drop of your sweet pot of [A#m] cheese.
The rain was lashing, the sun was rising, and the wind was [G#] whipping through the trees.
The madness from the mountains crawling, when they saw you first, me own [A#m] Aisling.
[C#] Lest the wind that shakes the barley curse the spell and curse [G#m] the plough.
[C#] I counted the years and the weeks and days, and I wish to [G#] God that I was with you [C#] now.
Fare thee well, my blackheart darling, fare thee well, [G#m] my Aisling.
At night when [C#] dreams do you still haunt me, far across the [F#] greener sea.
[G#]
[C#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [C#]
[F#] [G#]
Eho [F#] aye, my graho, [G#m] my calinda sog, [C#] my Aisling gal, my Aisling gal, my [G#m] Aisling gal.
[F#] Good night my sweet black-haired [G#m] dream woman, [C#] good night Aisling, my darling Aisling gal.
And [D] fair play to you, Shane McGowan from Puccaughnan County Tipperary.
But you should know how to write them by, I tell you, nice [C#] one.
