Shanagolden by Liam Clancy
Shanagolden
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
C Am F C
The cold winds from the mountains, are calling soft to me,
G Em Am G7
The smell of scented heather, brings bitter memories,
G Em Am G7
The wild and lonely eagle, up in the summer sky,
Am F C
Flies high or Shannagolden, where my young Willy lies
[Verse 2]
C Am F C
Do you remember darling, we walked the moonlit road,
G Em Am G7
I held you in my arms then, I'd never let you go,
G Em Am G7
Our hands they were entwined my love all in the pale moonlight,
Am F C
By the fields of Shanagolden, on a lonely winter's night.
[Verse 3]
C Am F C
Then came the call to arms love, and the hills they were aflamed,
G Em Am G7
Down from the silent mountains, the Saxon strangers came,
G Em Am G7
I held you in my arms then, my young heart wild with fear,
Am F C
By the fields of Shanagolden, in the spring time of the year.
[Verse 3]
C Am F C
And you fought them darling Willy, all through those summer days,
G Em Am G7
I heard the rifles firing, in the mountains far away,
G Em Am G7
I held you in my arms then, your blood ran free and bright,
Am F C
And you died in Shanagolden on a lonely winter's night.
[Verse 4]
C Am F C
Oh but that was long ago my love, and our son grows fine and tall,
G Em Am G7
The hills they are at peace again, the Saxon strangers gone,
G Em Am G7
There's roses on your grave my love, there's an eagle in the sky,
Am F C
Flying high or Shanagolden, where my young Willy died.
[Verse 1]
C Am F C
The cold winds from the mountains, are calling soft to me,
G Em Am G7
The smell of scented heather, brings bitter memories,
G Em Am G7
The wild and lonely eagle, up in the summer sky,
Am F C
Flies high or Shannagolden, where my young Willy lies
