[Cm]
Here's one from 1972, [G] an [C] old Plankstay song, written by Mickey McConnell from O'Banner
Skillingway, [Gm] Lawrence Court, [C] County Fermanagh.
When leaves [G] [C]
[F]
[C] [G]
[F] are still green [C] in December, [G] it's then that our land will [Am]
be free.
[F] I wander her hills [C] and valleys, [F] and still through my sorrow [Em] I see, [F] how a land
[C]
[G] and only a [Am]
[F] great reach [G] to the death [C] of a man who those [F]
men [C] would rather [G]
than [F] to live in
the cold [C] chains of bondage [G] to bring back the rights were [Am] denied.
[F] Where are [C]
[F] you?
What burns where the flame [B] used to [Em]
be?
Are [F] you gone like the snows of [C] last winter?
How [G]
lonely [Am]
[F] a sweet [G] night, [C]
[F] how now, [C] [G]
[F] how fragrant the rose [C] but it's dying, [G] how gentle the wind
but [Am] it's dying.
[F] What gold [C] would it tell you?
[F] What joy is an eye that [Em] can see when [F] there's sorrow in sunshine [C] and flowers?
[G] How lonely a sweet [Am] night.
