The Luck Of The Irish Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The luck of the Irish borne
of ages past
Has spawned a cruel history,
[Em]lets hope that luck don't last
[D]It came with the longships and
from across the Irish sea
The [Em]endless tides of fighting men
[G]bought the Ard ris [D]to their knees
Oh the luck of the Irish,

[Verse 2]
Oh the luck of the Irish
[D]Then came the English with
their reforming ways
The luck of the Irish bore
[Em]ample fruit in those days
[G]The lan[D]d was replanted with the
winners of English wars
And the [Em]only crops harvested were [G]fam
ine and plague and the [A]odd lost cause
[D]Oh the luck of the Irish,
Oh the luck of the Irish

[Verse 3]
[A]One day things will change and
[G]then you know you will [D]see
[A]Just how lucky [G]they can all [Asus4]really be[D]
When the [A]orange and the green
[G]meet on the white in between
[D]Oh the luck of the Irish,

[Interlude 1]
Oh the luck of the Irish
[D]

[Verse 4]
The [D]luck of the Irish still
hangs around their heels
As bombers stop the cities hearts and [Em]blood
is spilt in the greenest field[G]s
And the [D]orangemen remember,
the old horse is yearly shod
To [Em]ride again with long dead men and
[G]kill or be killed for the [A]one same god.
[D]Oh the luck of the Irish,
Oh the luck of the Irish
[Em]One

[Verse 5]
[A]day things will change and
[G]then you know you will [D]see
[A]Just how lucky [G]they can all really [D]be
When the [A]orange and the green
[G]meet on the white in between
[D]Oh the luck of the Irish, Oh the luck of the Irish

[Outro 1]
