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