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