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