Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Poo[Dm]r old[G] i[Am]sland[G],[Dm][G][Am]
[Dsus4]poor old [D]unive[G]rse
[D]Wonder[G] who comes of [D]the worst[G]
Poor old [Am]people [D]mis[Dsus4]treat ing[G],
misbeliev[Am]ing I[D] t[G]hink you've been cast by a[A] cur[D]se
[G]But I don't want you to die[Am], I c[D]an see [G]all the lies,
[D]there's not[G]hing the[D]re that's new[G]
But there's still no need [Am]to m[D]ake la[G]me children bl[Am]eed,
[D]even if [G]what you say is [D]true
[G]And meanwhi[F]le in the aisles of the chu[C]rches with style,
they're [Em]singing their songs to the
Lord
[G]And the[F] preacher is copying that for fai[C]lure or never,
[G]heav[Em]en will be your rewa[D]rd[G][D]
[G]Poor old is[Dm]land, [G]tortured by pas[Dm]t,
tar[G]nished by [Dm]future's
[G]For all the islan[Dm]ds,
[G]for all the [Dm]planets, f[G]or all t[Dm]he universe
[G][Dm][G][Dm][G][Dm][G]
[Dm]
[G]Oh,[Dm][G][Dm][G]
[F]Ireland, your people mean [C]more than
the idols you [Em]seek to set up [G]on high
And [F]the day that you see,
that's [C]the day that all of your sad[Em]ness and sickness will [D]die
For the [F]en emy you seek to destroy [C]is not
the [Em]one who's causing your p[G]ain
He's dis[F]guised himself well
with [C]his book and his bell
But [Em]evil is still his [D]name[Bm][D]
[G]For all I [Dm]love, [G]tortured by past
And tarnished by
[Dm]Richard's [G]curse
For all [D]I love, f[G]or all u[Dm]ni verse
Just [G]one day [Dm]comes off the
[G]list

[Outro 1]
