Liam Clancy – Shanagolden chords

Chords:
Transpose:
[Verse 1]
C Am F CThe cold winds from the mountains, are calling soft to me,
G Em Am G7The smell of scented heather, brings bitter memories,
G Em Am G7The wild and lonely eagle, up in the summer sky,
Am F CFlies high or Shannagolden, where my young Willy lies
[Verse 2]
C Am F CDo you remember darling, we walked the moonlit road,
G Em Am G7I held you in my arms then, I'd never let you go,
G Em Am G7Our hands they were entwined my love all in the pale moonlight,
Am F CBy the fields of Shanagolden, on a lonely winter's night.
[Verse 3]
C Am F CThen came the call to arms love, and the hills they were aflamed,
G Em Am G7Down from the silent mountains, the Saxon strangers came,
G Em Am G7I held you in my arms then, my young heart wild with fear,
Am F CBy the fields of Shanagolden, in the spring time of the year.
[Verse 3]
C Am F CAnd you fought them darling Willy, all through those summer days,
G Em Am G7I heard the rifles firing, in the mountains far away,
G Em Am G7I held you in my arms then, your blood ran free and bright,
Am F CAnd you died in Shanagolden on a lonely winter's night.
[Verse 4]
C Am F COh but that was long ago my love, and our son grows fine and tall,
G Em Am G7The hills they are at peace again, the Saxon strangers gone,
G Em Am G7There's roses on your grave my love, there's an eagle in the sky,
Am F CFlying high or Shanagolden, where my young Willy died.
[Verse 1]
C Am F CThe cold winds from the mountains, are calling soft to me,
G Em Am G7The smell of scented heather, brings bitter memories,
G Em Am G7The wild and lonely eagle, up in the summer sky,
Am F CFlies high or Shannagolden, where my young Willy lies
