Terry O'Neill - The legend Chords

[D] I went [A] to see a [Bm] legend _
_ _ [G] _ [D] just the other night
_ [Bm] At the Yankee [D] _
Stadium _ [G] _ underneath [D] the lights
_ [Bm] I heard a [D] man speaking [A] _ [G] after years and years in jail
_ [D] His name [A] it was [Bm] Mandela _ [G] and he came to [A]
tell us [D] tale _ _ _ _ _ _
The crowd they [A] cheered [Bm] him loudly, _ [G] but then [A] the [D] silence fell _
[Bm] As he spoke about [A] the hard [D] years in [G] our South African [A] sound
_ [Bm] Although he was [A] free, _ _ [G] his heart was feeling [D] the pain
For his country [A] and his [Bm] people were [G] still a [A] part of [D] that shame
He _ _ _ said he [A] hoped that we would [Bm] join him [D] _ [G] and walk down [A] freedom's [D] path
_ _ [Bm] And these roads would be the [A] _ hardest, oh [G] but they would be [A] the last
And [Bm] to join our hearts [A] together _ [G] so that we might be [D] as one
And to bring _ [A] ourselves [Bm] to the [D] cause [G] so this [A] body could [D] be warmed
_ I _ _ _ went home [A] to bed [Bm] that evening, [A] went [G] to sleep and [A] I had a [D] dream
_ I [Bm] was standing in [A] the pouring rain in [G] an Irish field of [A] green
_ And [Bm] all around [A] the headstones were [G] the martyrs of the [D] past
I stood _ [A] there [Bm] in silence [F#m] and [G] they spoke to [A] me at [D] last _ _ _ _ _
Kaban [A] Bari is [Bm] my name _ [G] and I [A] died in [D] the South
[F#m]
[Bm] They wanted the names of [A] my comrades [G] over the side of [A] Nantell _
[Bm] And I am Roger [A] Casement, _ [D]
[G] I was shot in London [D] time
For bringing [A] _ [Bm] German rifles [D] _
[G] to the [A] lonely bar [D] in Strath _ _
_ _ _ James Comde [A] is [Bm] my name, [F#m] the working [G] people [A] are [D] my life
_ [Bm] When they shot me [A] _ down [G] in Coombe and [A] Telmond Strait
_ [Bm] And I am [A] Padraig Pearce, [G] I was shot down by [D] the foe
_ I read [A] the _
[Bm] proclamation at [G] the steps [D] of the GPO _ _ _ _ _ _
And the last [A] voice that [Bm] I heard _ [G] says my name [A] is [D] Bobby Sands
[Bm] And it's good to hear [D] _ Mandela's words [G] are ringing through [A] the land
I [Bm] want to hear them [A] in _ Belfast, [G] in Derry and in [D] Tyrone _
Maybe then [A] those [Bm] English soldiers will know [G] it's [A] time to [D] go home
I _ _ _ _ woke up [A] in [Bm] the morning, _ [G] I [D] remembered them all
_ [Bm] And who would [D] [A] believe that [G] they'd knocked down the Berlin [A] Wall
And [Bm] now said _
[A] Mandela, _ [G] could this really [D] be
_ Maybe [A] now we will [Bm] see Ireland [D] _ [G] reunited _ [A] and [D] free
_ Maybe now [A] we [Bm] will see Ireland _ [G] reunited _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[G] and free
