[Verse 1]
D# G#
Kids wear white garters and smell like their mothers
C# G#
Whose husbands and fathers alike
D# C#
Drink black beer in the same public houses
C# D# G#
Smelling of smoke and strong whiskey
C# G#
D# G#
Mammies and daddies and skipping ropes
C# G#
Lectures from priests, living in hope
D# C#
They've not mistaken the brand of their coats
C# D# G#
Paid for by their spiritual teachings
C# G#
D# G#
A# busy year this, the streets running red
C# G#
How many sent to a nuptial bed
D# C#
And how many sent home to a winter of graves
C# D# G#
And how many wait in for the slaughter
C# G#
[Chorus]

It's Easter again and we cannot forget
C# G#
Brothers and sisters and all that was said

So practice your pipes, stand proud in the wet
C# D# G#
But the eyes of the world are upon you
C# G#
D# G#
God in his mercy has given us men
C# G#
To lead us to peace but they can't bring an end
D# C#
To the profits that pay off the lease on the land
C# D# G#
We still send them over the water
C# G#
D# G#
Seventeen years and Kelly's a man
C# G#
Who stands on the street with a gun in his hand

While the enemy waits with an army
[Chorus]

D# G#
Dia le hEireann, suckle the empire
C# G#
Dia le hEireann, suffer the loss
D# C#
Of the green to the blue while the media feeds
C# D# G#
On the blood and the pain and the hatred
C# G#
D# G#
Father walks home on the colourless night
C# G#
And the organisation has blinded his sight
D# G#
His wife and his kids are sleeping tonight
C# D#
In the arms of sweet Jesus and Mary
[Chorus]
G# C# D#
Oh the holy ground
C# A#m D#
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see
G# C# D#
Oh the holy ground
C# A#m D#
The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be
