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

And how many wait in for the slaughter

Brothers and sisters and all that was said

God in his mercy has given us men
G# D#
To lead us to peace but they can't bring an end

To the profits that pay off the lease on the land

We still send them over the water

Seventeen years and Kelly's a man

Who stands on the street with a gun in his hand

While the enemy waits with an army

A# D#
Dia le hEireann, suckle the empire
G# D#
Dia le hEireann, suffer the loss
A# G#
Of the green to the blue while the media feeds
G# A# D#
On the blood and the pain and the hatred
G# D#

Father walks home on the colourless night
G# D#
And the organisation has blinded his sight
A# D#
His wife and his kids are sleeping tonight
G# A#
In the arms of sweet Jesus and Mary
[Chorus]

Oh the holy ground

Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see

Oh the holy ground

The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be
