Ireland

This song is off Fresh Horses Garth’s most recent album. Ireland by Garth Brooks Intro: ()                                          They say Mother Earth is breathing ()                                   With each wave that finds the shore ()                                   Her soul rises in the evening ()                                   For to open twilight’s doors ()                                Her eyes are the stars in heaven ()                                   Watching o’er us all the while ()                                   And her heart it is in Ireland ()                     * Deep within the Emerald Isle Verse 2 We were forty against hundreds In someone else’s bloody war. We know not why we’re fighting Or what we’re dying for. They will storm us in the morning As the sunlight turns the sky. Death is waiting for it’s dance now Fate has sentenced us to die. Ireland I am coming home! I can see your rolling fields of green And fences made of stone. I am reaching out won’t you take my hand I’m coming home I-re-land! Verse Oh the captain he lay bleeding And I can hear him calling me These men are yours now for the leading Show them to their destiny And as I looked up all around me I see the ragged tired and torn I tell them to make ready Cause we’re not waiting for the morn. Chorus Verse Now the fog is deep and heavy As we forge the dark and fear We can hear their horses breathing As in silence we draw near And there are no words to be spoken Just a look to say goodbye I draw a breath and night is broken As I scream our battle cry Chorus ()                         Yes I am home I-re-land! The only playing notes I can give are that the Intro is strummed without anything more than the strum on the first of every measure. Listen to the song you’ll be able to pick it up easily! On the first verse * is where the song breaks into up-tempo.
