(intro) [F,F,G] [F,G,F,] [F,F,G] [F,G,F] (same as verses)

F                                                  F         G
See the moon is once more rising Above our land of black and green
F                                                      G        F
Hear the rebels voice is calling "I shall not die tho' you bury me"
F                                          F   G
Hear the Aunt in bed a dying, "Where is my Johnny"
F                                                       G         F
Faded pictures in the hallway, which one of these brown ghosts is he?

F
Fare thee well my black haired diamond
                  F   G
Fare thee well my own Aisling
F
Thoughts and dreams of you will haunt me
                 G    F
'Til I come back home again

F,F,G, F,G,F X 1

        F                    F
And the wind it blows to the North and South
       F                     F/A
And it blows to the East and West
         F                F
And I'll be just like the wind my love
    F              Am
For I will have no rest
     F   F    G  F
'Til I return to thee

F,F,G F,G,F X 2

And the wind it blows...

F,F,G F,G,F X 2

Bless the wind that shakes the barley, curse the spade and curse the plough
Waking in the morning early, I wish to Hell I was with you now
One, two, three telegraph poles, give me a drink of sweet poitin
Madness from the mountains crawling, when I first met you my own Aisling

Fare thee well... X 2

F,F,G F,G,F X 1

Fare thee well... X 2

F,F,G F,G,F X 2
