[A] _ _ [D] On [Am] famine pathway beneath the hill
_ [G] Where my love sleeps [Am] there still
Her restless shadow _ wanders the night
_ [Em] Where the banshee _ [Am] cradle fills
We build a home _ of clay and stone
On a patch [G] of ground the [Am] landlord owned
Near old home _ where I was born
I'd lay [G] my head with my [Am] Irish girl
_ On the pale moon it [G] rose on high
_ [Em] To see, to see the [Am] darkened skies
To bear witness to [G] heaven's eyes
_ [E] Cold, cold [Am] Jenner's eyes
How little we had, _ so much to lose
No time [G] for prayer, nor what [Am] we choose
The blade had taken _ many lives
It would [Em] kill us all, man, woman [Am] and child
On the pale moon [A] it rose [G] on high
To [Em] see, to see the [Am] darkened skies
To bear witness to [G] heaven's eyes
[Em] And cold, cold [Am] Jenner's side _ _ _ _ _ _

[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ Millions died, _ thousands fled
On famine [G] ships we [Am] cried for her
To _ Nairn we'd see no [A] more
As her [Em] flesh fell [Am] from her bones
On the pale moon it [G] rose on high
_ [Em] To see, to [Am] see the darkened skies
To bear witness to [G] heaven's eyes
_ [E] Cold, cold [Am] Jenner's eyes _ _ _ _ _ _
