hi, ive found out smoke & strong whiskey. yey.
here it is.

G   C    G


D                            G
Kids wear white garters and smell like their mothers
       C                     G
Whose husbands and fathers alike
             D                        C
Drink black beer in the same public houses
             D               G
Smelling of smoke and strong Whiskey

Mammies and Daddies and skipping ropes
Lectures from priests who are living in hope
That they've not mistaken the brand of their coats
Paid for by their spiritual teachings

A busy year this, streets running red
How many sent to their nuptial bed
How many sent home to a winter of graves
How many wait in for the slaughter


G Am      D
Oh   the holy ground
C                         Am                   D
Cead mile failte, there's saints and scholars to see
G Am      D
Oh   the holy ground
C                        Am                        D    Em Am
Far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be

It's Easter again, and we cannot forget
Our brothers and sisters and all that was said
So practise your pipes and stand proud in the wet
For the eyes of the world are upon you

God in his mercy has given us men
To lead us to peace but they can't bring an end
To the profits that pay off the lease on the land
We're still sending them over the water

Seventeen years and Kelly is a man
Who stands on the street with a gun in his hand
Protecting the pipers who play in the band
While the enemy waits with an army

Chorus

Dia le hEireann, suckle the empire
Dia le hEireann, suffer the loss
Of the green to the blue while the media feeds
On the blood and the pain and the hatred

Father walks home on a colourless night
The organisation has blinded his sight
His wife and his kids are sleeping tonight
In the arms of Jesus and Mary

Chorus (2x)
