Christy Moore - Smoke and strong whiskey

K^Dids wear white garters and s^Gmell like their mothers Whose h^Cusbands and fathers al^Gike Drink black be^Der in the same public h^Couses S^Cmelling of sm^Doke and strong w^Ghiskey

Ma^Dmmies and daddies and sk^Gipping ropes Lect^Cures from priests, ^Gliving in hope T^Dhey've not mistaken the br^Cand of their coats Pa^Cid for by their sp^Diritual t^Geachings

A b^Dusy year this, the str^Geets running red H^Cow many sent to a n^Guptial bed And how m^Dany sent home to a w^Cinter of graves And how m^Cany wait ^Din for the s^Glaughter

^GOh ^C the h^Doly ground Ce^Cud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to s^Dee ^GOh ^C the h^Doly ground The ^Cfar away hills ain't as green as they once used to b^De

It's E^Daster again and we c^Gannot forget B^Crothers and sisters and a^Gll that was said So pr^Dactice your pipes, stand pr^Coud in the wet But the e^Cyes of the w^Dorld are up^Gon you

G^Dod in his mercy has g^Given us men To l^Cead us to peace but they c^Gan't bring an end To the p^Drofits that pay off the le^Case on the land We st^Cill send them ^Dover the w^Gater

S^Deventeen years and Ke^Glly's a man Who s^Ctands on the street with a g^Gun in his hand He's Prot^Decting the pipers that p^Clay in the band While the e^Cnemy wa^Dits with an a^Grmy

^GOh ^C the h^Doly ground ^CCeud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to s^Dee ^GOh ^C the h^Doly ground The f^Car away hills ain't as green as they once used to ^Dbe

^DDia le hEireann, s^Guckle the empire ^CDia le hEireann, s^Guffer the loss Of the gr^Deen to the blue while the ^Cmedia feeds On the bl^Cood and the pa^Din and the h^Gatred

^DFather walks home on the c^Golourless night And the o^Crganisation has b^Glinded his sight His w^Dife and his kids are s^Gleeping tonight In the a^Crms of sweet Jesus and M^Dary

^GOh ^C the h^Doly ground ^CCeud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to s^Dee ^GOh ^C the h^Doly ground The f^Car away hills ain't as green as they once used to ^Dbe
