Jim McCann - Meet me at the pillar

I was^G walking down by Island Bridge just doing as ^DI please This April day the sun was warm There was but a gentle^G breeze I wandered up the old stone^G7 steps into the Phoenix^C Park To watch the children laugh and^D play In the hours before the^G dark.

I strolled up the m^Gonument and lay down on the g^Dround Then people started crying when they heard the battle^G sound I don't know what came o^G7ver me for a moment I could^C hear The echo of a ^Dsoldier's voice kept calling in my ^Gear

Meet^G me at the ^CPillar son, Please meet me there at ^Gnoon, I need you brave young^D Irishmen, G there's something we mus^Ct do, please meet me at the pillar so^Gn , for it still is not too late It's time to sing a^D freedom song Come soon I cannot^G wait

I turned around to ^Gsee this man but nobody was ^Dthere In the distance I could hear the Drums Yet it's stillness fill the ^Gair I closed my eyes and in my d^G7reams a soldier I could^C see He said his name was Pa^Ddraig Pearse and he kept on calling ^Gme.

Meet^G me at the ^CPillar son, Please meet me there at ^Gnoon, I need you brave young^D Irishmen, there's something we mus^Ct do, please meet me at the pillar so^Gn , for it still is not too late It's time to sing a^D freedom song Come soon I cannot^G wait

Meet^G me at the ^CPillar son, Please meet me there at ^Gnoon, I need you brave young^D Irishmen, G there's something we mus^Ct do, please meet me at the pillar so^Gn , for it still is not too late It's time to sing a^D freedom song Come soon I cannot^G wait
