Runrig - Eirinn (Ireland)
A very nice song that sings about the troubles of Ireland in the later parts of the 20th century
I'm pretty sure these are correct.
I prefer to finger pick this and strum the chorus, but listen to the song to find the bast way.

From the long and rolling Antrim hills
Through the wilds of Donegal
The songs of history are sung
Every stone on every wall
But here in our land how can we stand
And wash our hands of shame
When the sins of generations fall
Across the green like rain
Here one world window opens wide
And demons they show face
Some of your men have taken seeds of truth
And planted fields of hate
This way has never won a war
And I fear that when the harvest comes
You'll see your freedom fall on stoney ground
And the green overgrown
[Chorus]
Enjoy!
