From: Nolan's Pub Irish Session U2 VAN DIEMANS LAND (from the album "Rattle and Hum") ---------------- [Chorus]
Hold me nGow,C oh hold me Gnow C G Til this hEmourC has gone aDround. And I'm gBmone on the rising tEmideC For to fGacDe Van Diemen's LGandC. G
[Verse]
It's a bitter pGillC I swallow hGere C G To be rEmentC from one so dDear. We fought for juBmstice and not for gEmainC But the magistrGatDe sent me awGay.C G
Now the kings will rGuleC and the poor will tGoil C G And tear their haEmndsC as they tear the sDoil. But a day will cBmome in this dawning aEmge C When an honest maGn D sees and honest wGageC. G
[Chorus]
Hold me nGow,C oh hold me Gnow C G Til this hEmourC has gone aDround. And I'm gBmone on the rising tEmideC For to fGacDe Van Diemen's LGandC. G
[Verse]
Still the gunman ruGlesC and widows Gpay C G A scarlet cEmoatC now a black bDeret. They thought that blBmood and sacrifice Em C Could out of deGatDh bring forth a lGifeC. G
[Chorus]
Hold me nGow,C oh hold me Gnow C G Til this hEmourC has gone aDround. And I'm gBmone on the rising tEmideC For to fGacDe Van Diemen's LGandC. G
