The Sands Family - Donal Óg  (1976) - an old Donegal song chords
Start Jamming...
We're called the Sands family, we're all one family.
So if you see us arguing or fighting or kicking each other in the ankles, that explains it.
But this is our sister Anya here.
Over the far side is Colm, and Benny's sitting down tonight because his leg gets sleepy.
My name's Tommy, if you want to send me any threatening letters or anything.
Anya's going to sing a song, it comes from Dona Goal, it's a translation of a very old Irish song.
It's called Dona Loag.

[F#m] [E] [A]
[Bm] [A] You will sleep [E] with the Greek [A] king's daughter
I saw you first [E] on a [A] Sunday evening
[B] About [D]
[Em] Easter [D] as [A] I was kneeling
It was about [C#] Christ's [E] passion [D] that I [A] was reading
But my eyes were on you and [E] my [A] sad heart bleeding
Oh Dona Loag, you won't find me lazy
Not [D] like some [E]
highborn [D] expensive [A] lady
I'll do [C#] your moon [E]
[D] and I'll [A] nurse your baby
[D] And [A] if you're set on, [E] I'll defend you [A] bravely
For you took what's before me [E] and [A] what's behind me
You took [F#m] east and [E] west [D] when you [A] wouldn't mind me
Sun, [F#m] moon and [E] stars, my [D] sky have [A] been taken
[D] And [A] God as well, are [E] I much [A]
mistaken
Oh black as a slough [E] is the [A] heart that's in you
Black [D] as a [E] coal [B] is the [A] grief that binds me
Black as a [E] bull [D] in [A] shining hope
[D] T'was [A] you that blackened it [E] forever and [A] always
