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