Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
The Crossing
| Am | G |
In these | sad and lonely days for | Ireland |
| Am |
Our people shipped across the ocean | wide |
| G | D |
They left their footsteps by the | harbour | walls |
| C | D |
And their | dreams are in the | hills |
| Em | Bm |
And the | cabins that were | home |
| Em | Bm | Am |
In the | fields and in the | towns of Ire | land. |
Chorus:
Am |
In our hearts we always will remember |
| G | Am |
All the | tragedy, the hunger, the death and | pain. |
In our hearts we always will remember
| Em | Bm |
All the | millions that were | lost |
| Em | Bm |
All the | lifes that it | cost |
| Em | Bm | Am |
In those | ships, those coffin | ships, those ships of | tears. |
In overcrowded ships not fit for people
The angel of death did cast it's hungry eye
For many will die upon the ocean deep
And the childrens' hungry pleas
From the ??? and disease
In those ships, those coffin ships, those ships of tears.
Chorus
Bridge in Am
Now their ghosts will dance upon the ocean,
Their spirits are wandering on a lonely wave.
The moon and stars will cast a laughing eye,
build a bridge across the sea.
Place a cross, in memory
For each life that was lost in that holocaust.
