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