[D]
Out of Ireland I have [A] come Great hatred [Am] and little [D] room
Named us at the [Dm] start [A] And now [Am] home, just brace my [D]
heart
To America I [A] have come I hope to bring your [Am] preacher [D] men
Home to show my [Dm] people how they can [Am] Get their name back in the book of life of the [D] land
I know that I've done [Am] many things To give you reason not to listen to [Dm] me
Especially as I [Bm] have been so [Am]
angry But if you knew me maybe you would [D] understand
Words can't express how [Am] sorry I am If I ever cause pain to [D] anybody
I just hope that you can show [F] compassion And love me enough to just leave, [D]
listen
Out of Ireland I didn't [Am] run Great hatred and little [Dm] room
Aimed to break my [Am] heart Wrecked me up and tearing all [D]
apart
To America I have [Am] come I need to find a good preacher [Dm]
man
Help him show me how I can [Am] get my name back In the book of life of the [D] land

That everything in this world would be [Am] okay If people just believed enough in God to [D]
pray
But [Dm] the world thinks that sounds [Am] crazy And that's the thing that makes me sing so [D] sadly
To think that we would leave [Dm] God so [Am] lonely To think that we would mess up our own [D] destiny
Out of history we have [Am] come With great hatred and little [Dm] room
It aims to break our [A] hearts [Am] Wreck us up and tear us all [D] apart
But if we listen to the preacher [Am] man He can show us how it can be [Dm] done
To live in peace and let us one [A] Get our names back [Am] in the book of life on the [B] land
