Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Peat Bog Soldiers
Em |
Far and wide as the eye can wander, |
G |
Not a bird sings out to cheer us. |
Am | Em | B7 | Em |
Oaks are | standing | gaunt and | bare. |
Chorus
D7 | G | D |
We | are the peat bog | soldiers, |
Em | B7 | Em |
Marching with our | spades to the | moor. |
D7 | G | D |
We | are the peat bog | soldiers, |
Em | B7 | Em |
Marching with our | spades to the | moor. |
Em |
Up and down the guards are marching, |
Am | Em | B7 | Em |
No one, | no one | can get | through. |
G |
Flight would mean a sure death facing, |
Am | Em | B7 | Em |
Guns and | barbed wire | block our | view. |
Chorus
Em |
But for us there is no complaining, |
G |
One day we shall rise rejoicing. |
Am | Em | B7 | Em |
Homeland, | dear, you're | mine at | last. |
Chorus
