Verse
G D Bm G
The island lies like a leaf upon the sea
G D Bm G
Green island like a leaf new fallen from the tree
A Bm
Green turns to gold
Em D A
As morning breezes gently shake the barley
F#m A Bm
Bending the yellow corn
A Bm
Green turns to gold,
Em D A
There´s purple shadows on the distant mountains
F#m A Bm
And the sun in the yellow corn
[Verse 2]
G D Bm G
They came in their longships from lands beyond the sea
G D Bm G
They came in their longships, they saw the land was green
A Bm
Wind in the barley,
Em D A
Trout and salmon leaping in the rivers
F#m A Bm
Sun in the yellow corn
A Bm
Leaping a shore
Em D A
They slaughtered those who laboured in the barley
F#m A Bm
Scything them down like corn
[Verse 3]
G D Bm G
The longships sailed away and new invaders came
G D Bm G
With long bow and lance bringing death in England´s name
A Bm
With sword and with mace
Em D A
They went reaping through the fields of barley
F#m A Bm
They plundered the yellow corn
A Bm
Crop followed crop
Em D A
And prospered in the killing fields of barley
F#m A Bm
In the harvest of new young corn
[Verse 4]
G D Bm G
Marching down the years the men of war they came
G D Bm G
With bombs, assassin´s bullets, c.s gas and guns
A Bm
Ghosts from the past
Em D A
Are chasing shadows through the fields of barley
F#m A Bm
Hiding in the yellow corn
A Bm
Nine hundred years
Em D A
They´ve tried to trap the wind that shakes the barley
F#m A Bm
And the sun in the yellow corn
[Verse 5]
G D Bm G
The island lies like a leaf upon the sea
G D Bm G
Green island like a leaf new fallen from the tree
A Bm
Green turns to gold
Em D A
As morning breezes gently shake the barley
F#m A Bm
Bending the yellow corn
A Bm
No force on earth
Em D A
Can ever trap the wind that shakes the barley
F#m A Bm
Or the sun in the yellow corn
