         To Youth My Sweet Roisin Dubh








Verse 1:
        C                    G
Tell me why must a man be of service
       C                       G
To his lord and the god seldom high
         C                            G
From the grave spring the name of our fathers
               C          Am         D
But there's no glint in a dead man's eye
        C                              G
Tell me why are our fields filled with hunger
     C                        G
And fruitless the crop bitter soil
     C                    G
So I say my farewell to a nation
       C          Am              D
As the leaf waves goodbye to it's son

Chorus
           C                     G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
            C               G
And it's of youth I sing it now
         C                          G
Like the train that derails without warning
       Am                      D
I must leave what I left far behind
       C               D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
      G  C  G  C  G  C  G
I say goodbye

Verse 2:
        C                          G
Tell me why must our peace be this puzzle
     C                             G
That fractures the land, splinters war
         C                           G
The last nails cite the shame in our coffin
           C           Am      D
But in the end we must all die alone

Chorus
           C                     G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
            C               G
And it's of youth I sing it now
         C                          G
Like the train that derails without warning
       Am                      D
I must leave what I left far behind
       C               D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
      G  C  G  C  G  C  G
I say goodbye

Bridge:
        D
And the bark fell from tree
       C                   G
To the ground that they'll bleed
       D                             G
On the anguish that never learned to shout
         D
With the clash of the drum
      C             G
We'll surrender the gun
            D                          G
and on this sadness we shall no longer speak
      C                     G
Until time can live on our all forgotten songs
            C                   D
That's when I and we will sing again
      G          C        D            G
So goodbye to my love, my sweet Roisin Dubh
   G          C            G  C  D  G G  C  G
Goodbye now until we meet again

        C                           G
Tell me why must our grief still be greiving
      C                              G
For a language that never spoke it's loss
         C                                G
But this tongue speak with fire will tear down the barb wire
    N.C.
And Rip the belly from the waxy ghost

Chorus
           C                     G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
            C               G
And it's of youth I sing it now
         C                          G
Like the train that derails without warning
       Am                      D
I must leave what I left far behind
           C                     G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
            C               G
And it's of youth I sing it now
         C                          G
Like the train that derails without warning
       Am                      D
I must leave what I left far behind
       C               D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
      G  C  G  C
I say goodbye
      C                D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
      G  C  G  C
I say goodbye
               G  C  G  C
Until we meet again
               G  C  G  C
Until we meet again

Until we meet...

Outro:
G
Then she arrives to beautify
                     D
But slumber now must rest
      G
Oh my Roisin Dubh
      C
I'll forever love
    G         D      G
The youth you once possessed
