Verse 2

We are fourty against hundreds

In someone elses bloody war

We know not why we're fighting

Or what we're dying for,

They will [F#m]storm us in [G#]the mor[A]ning, when the sunlight turns[D] the sky

Fate has sentenced us to[A] die

CHORUS
[F#m]Ireland [D]I am coming [A]home
I can [D]see your rolling field[A]s of green
And [F#m]fences made of sto[E]ne
I am [F#m]reaching [A]out, won't you [D]take my [A]hand?
I'm coming [F#m]home [A]I-[E]re-land[A]

Verse 3 (Same Chords As Above Verse)

Oh, the Captian he lays bleeding
I can hear him calling me
These are your men for the leading
Show them to there destiny
And as I look up all around me
I see the ragged, tired and torn
I tell them to make ready,
'Cause were not waiting for the morn'

CHORUS

Verse 4
Now the fog is deep and [A]heavy, as we forge the dark and fear
