(Intro) Asus2 – Csus2 – G – Asus2

Asus2
The moon it whispers 
Csus2
My own voice 
G                         Asus2
That screamed just a day ago

Reminds me of when I still 
Had the choice 
That I could stay or I could go 

Now I sit here and I 
Smoke with you 
New friend you're growing old 

Pre-Chorus (Whistle)
C – D – C – D – C – D – E

(chorus in Gaelic) 
Am – G – C – C/B
Am – G – C – C/B
Am – G – C – C/B
Am – C – G 

Interlude (Asus2 – Csus2 – G – Asus2)

So if you see me 
In the wind 
Please think twice before you let me in 

I only smile just to 
Ease the pain 
You think it's a smile brother I think it's a stain 

Pre-Chorus (Whistle)
C – D – C – D – C – D – E

Am       G
Tomorrow will have trouble 
C            C/B
Surprising me 
Am       G              C       C/B
Today he took all of his casualties 
Am    G
Yesterday left most of
C            C/B 
My memory then 
Am    C             G
But today was not a day forgiven
