Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Mary's [G]eyes are startling blue
And her [Em]hair's Newcastle gold
And she [C]walks the thin white [G]line
between the [D]body and the soul.
She's as [G]faithful to her history
As [Em]a novice to his fast;
For she's [C]standing on the [G]bones
of Ireland's [D]past.

[Verse 2]
Chorus: She's [Em]singing
of the troubles
And [Bm]the fire in the land,
'Til I can [C]almost feel [Bm]the famine[G]
slipping [Am]through my trembling [D]hand.
And I [Em]wonder as I hear her,
That [Bm]the spirit still shines through
And she can [C]reach across the [G]ocean [Em]deep
and [Am]break my [D]heart in two...
[G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
Mary's wise and she is foolish;
She's as [Em]constant as the tide.
For it's a wo[C]man's heart that [G]beats
beneath [D]that stubborn Irish pride.
We [G]are saints and we are sinners,
We are [Em]heros we are theives. We [C]are all of us be[G]ginners on the
[D]road to [Em]Galilee[Bm][C][G]
[Am][D][Em][Bm][C]

[Interlude 1]
Chorus
[G][Em][Am][D][G][F#]
[Bm][F#][Bm][C][G][Em][D]

[Verse 4]
So let us [G]hoist a pint of silence
To the [Em]East where Ireland lies,
And we [C]will stare across
the [G]waters
[D]For a glimpse of Mary's eyes.
We [G]are ships without a harbor,
We [Em]are sailors on dry land,
And [C]the song goes on [G]forever
Even [D]though the [Em]record[Bm]
[C]can't.[G][Am][D][Em]
[Bm][C]

[Outro 1]
Chorus
[G][Em][Am][D][G][C][G][C]
