[Verse 1]
G# C#
Kids wear white garters and smell like their mothers
F# C#
Whose husbands and fathers alike
G# F#
Drink black beer in the same public houses
F# G# C#
Smelling of smoke and strong whiskey
F# C#
G# C#
Mammies and daddies and skipping ropes
F# C#
Lectures from priests, living in hope
G# F#
They've not mistaken the brand of their coats
F# G# C#
Paid for by their spiritual teachings
F# C#
G# C#
D# busy year this, the streets running red
F# C#
How many sent to a nuptial bed
G# F#
And how many sent home to a winter of graves
F# G# C#
And how many wait in for the slaughter
F# C#
[Chorus]
C# F# G#
Oh the holy ground
F# D#m G#
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see
C# F# G#
Oh the holy ground
F# D#m G#
The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be
[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
G# C#
It's Easter again and we cannot forget
F# C#
Brothers and sisters and all that was said
G# F#
So practice your pipes, stand proud in the wet
F# G# C#
But the eyes of the world are upon you
F# C#
G# C#
God in his mercy has given us men
F# C#
To lead us to peace but they can't bring an end
G# F#
To the profits that pay off the lease on the land
F# G# C#
We still send them over the water
F# C#
G# C#
Seventeen years and Kelly's a man
F# C#
Who stands on the street with a gun in his hand
G# F#
He's Protecting the pipers that play in the band
F# G# C#
While the enemy waits with an army
[Chorus]
C# F# G#
Oh the holy ground
F# D#m G#
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see

[Verse 3]
G# C#
Dia le hEireann, suckle the empire
F# C#
Dia le hEireann, suffer the loss
G# F#
Of the green to the blue while the media feeds
F# G# C#
On the blood and the pain and the hatred
F# C#
G# C#
Father walks home on the colourless night
F# C#
And the organisation has blinded his sight
G# C#
His wife and his kids are sleeping tonight
F# G#
In the arms of sweet Jesus and Mary
[Chorus]
C# F# G#
Oh the holy ground
F# D#m G#
Ceud mile failte, there's saints and there's scholars to see
C# F# G#
Oh the holy ground
F# D#m G#
The far away hills ain't as green as they once used to be
