[Intro]
G Am D
[Verse]
GMary and Manus are Amworking the turf toEmgether
Old they Amare, the two of them, old and Dgrey
GOver the bog the Csea-wind sings in the Bmheather Am
Night clouds scatter the Emhilltops, Cfar aDway
[Verse]
GThey will have comfort, Amnow, when the nights are Emcolder
AmThey will have turf, aye, plenty of turf to Dspare
GLight she steps with a Cheavy creel on her Bmshoulder
AmLoad on load for the Emstack that is Cbuilding Dthere
[Verse]
GThere is a deeper Amnote than the sea-wind's Emsinging
AmSoft it comes, on the breath of the dying Dday
GDown in the hollow, the Cbell from the chapel is Bmringing
AmMary and Manus Emstand for a Cminute and Dpray
[Verse]
GSoft and low on the Amair each long note Emlingers
AmQuietly bending their old, grey heads they Dstand
GMaking the holy Csign with work-worn Bmfingers
AmWrapped in the sudden Empeace that has Cblessed the Dland
[Verse]
GIs it the light of Amheaven on the wide sea Embreaking?
AmSpreading its glory out like a golden Drain
GAye, and with the light of the Cworld in their eyes a-Bmwaking
AmMary and Manus are Emworking the Cturf aDgain
