Subject: RE: Chord Req: Song for Ireland Mary Black
Song for Ireland by Phil Colclough. This is Declan Sinnott's arrangement from The Mary Black Songbook.



D               A       G    D/F#         G       A7sus4      D      A7/E
Walking all the day near tall towers where falcons build their nests

D                  A         Em       D/F#    G       A7sus4   D    A7sus4/E
Silver-winged they fly, they know the call of freedom in their breasts

G                         A7sus4   D       Bm7       D/A      G      Asus4
Saw Black Head against the sky with twisted rocks that run down to the sea

G      Asus4   D
Living on your western shore

Bm         D/A      E9 no root Asus4   A
Saw summer sunsets, asked for   more

G       A      D      A
I stood by your Atlantic sea

    Em    Bm       G A7sus4 D
And sang a song for I- re-    land.


At the end of the final chorus he sticks in a G#dim.
