Dublin

F C Dm C F F C Dm C A# C F On the quiet banks of the Liffey and lakes, Dublin wrote her name. F C Dm C A# On the broad backs of men, we never met with their pens and their stones, C F they did the same, F C Dm C A# In the hours passed in the pubs, all the glasses were full and they were C F wet to the sleeve. F C Dm C A# C F And the eyes were so clear on the girl I met there,I swore I’d never leave. A# C And the young men who longed for these shores in a song, F F/E Dm All they wanted was a home, A# C F F/E Dm And I wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the light of dawn, A# C F Patiently, she waits there for me to come home. F C Dm C A# C Was a bleary-eyed night, drunk from the lights and the sounds of a city F awake, F C Dm C A# C And she stood in the crowd, her face as a shroud, leaving nothing for my eye F to take. F C Dm C A# But a warmth was so clear, it betrayed her as nearly she glowed like those C F lights on the bridge, F C Dm C A# C And a pain in my side, as I was drawn to her pride like the rise of the wind F to the ridge. A# C And the young men who longed for these shores in a song, F F/E Dm All they wanted was a home, A# C F F/E Dm And I wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the light of dawn, A# C F Patiently, she waits there for me to come home. INSTRUMENTAL - PLAY CHORUS CHORDS VERSE 3 (stum full chords) F C Dm C A# These waters have run red, these beaches have bled from the wounds at the C F dark heart of man, F C Dm C A# Daughters grown sharp, tongues like knives to the heart or a charm for the C F curse of the land, F C Dm C A# With prayers in their eyes, how well they've disguised that it's love C F they're giving away. F C Dm C A# C But you might believe when your hard heart says leave but this one implores F you to stay. A# C And the young men who longed for these girls with our songs, F F/E Dm All we wanted was a home. A# C F F/E Dm She wants one too with someone heart as true as this prison made of stone, A# C F Patiently, she waits there for me to come home, A# C F Patiently, I wait to be free and be home.
