The Wolfe Tones - Lough sheelin eviction

^GFarewell my country a long fare^Emwell, My tal^Ce of a^Dnguish no ^Gtongue can tell, For I’m forced to fly o're the ocean^Em wide, From t^Che home I^D love by Lough ^CSheelin ^Gside. ^GHow proud was I of my girl so f^Emair, I was ^Cenvied most ^Dby the young ^Gmen there, When I brought her back a bashful ^Embride, From my ^Ccottage ^Dhome by Lough^C Sheelin^G side.

^GFarewell my love a fond a d^Cieu, Farewell my ^Gcomrades and my ^Emcountry ^Ctoo ^D7For I'm ^Gforced to fly o're the ocean ^Emwide From the ^Chome I ^Dlove by Lough ^CSheelin ^Gside.

^GBut all our joys were too good to^Em last, For the ^Clandlord came our ^Dyoung hopes to ^Gblast, In vain we pleaded for mercy ^Emno, He hur^Cled us^D out in the ^Cblinding ^Gsnow.

^GBut no one opened for us their ^Emdoors, For ^Cill felt vengean^Dce would reach ^Gthem sure, My Eileen fainted in my arms and ^Emdied, On that ^Csnowy n^Dight by Lough ^CSheelin ^Gside.

^GFarewell my love a fond a d^Cieu, Farewell my ^Gcomrades and my ^Emcountry ^Ctoo ^D7For I'm ^Gforced to fly o're the ocean ^Emwide From the ^Chome I ^Dlove by Lough ^CSheelin ^Gside

^GI buried her down in the churchyard ^Emlow Where in ^Cspringtime the ^Dwild flowers ^Ggrow, I shed no tears for my tongue felt ^Emdry On that ^Cfearfull ^Dnight by Lough ^CSheelin ^Gside. ^GFarewell my country farewell all d^Emay, The ship ^Cwill soon take me ^Dfar awa^Gy, But my fond heart would sooner ^Embide, Near my ^CEileen's ^Dgrave by loug^Ch Sheelin s^Gide.

^GFarewell my love a fond a d^Cieu, Farewell my ^Gcomrades and my ^Emcountry ^Ctoo ^D7For I'm ^Gforced to fly o're the ocean ^Emwide From the ^Chome I ^Dlove by Lough ^CSheelin ^Gside
