Lindisfarne - Poor Old Ireland
[INTRO:] G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7-G
[VERSE 1:]
Dm7 G Dm7
Poor old Ireland, poor old universe
G Dm7 G Dm7-G
Wonder who comes off the worse
Dm7 G Dm7
Poor old people mistreating, misbelieving
G Dm7 G Dm7-G
Are you given, cursed by a curse
[VERSE 2:]
Dm7 G Dm7
But I don't want you to die, I can see all the lies
G Dm7 G Dm7-G
There's nothing there that's new
Dm7 G Dm7
But there's still no need to make blind children bleed
G Dm7 G Dm7-G
Even if what you say is true
[VERSE 3:]
F C
And meanwhile in the aisles of the churches with style
Em G
They're singing their songs to the lord
F C
And the preacher is carping, that for failure on earth
Em D
Heaven will be your reward
[VERSE 4:]
G Dm7 G Dm7
Poor old Ireland, tortured by past
G Dm7 G Dm7-G
And tarnished by future's curse
Dm7 G Dm7
Poor old Ireland, poor old planet
G Dm7 G Dm7-G
Poor old universe
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7-G
G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7-G
[VERSE 5:]
F C
Oh, Ireland your people mean more than the idols
Em G
You seek to set up on earth
F C
And the day that you see, that's the day
Em D D/C D/B D/A (*Bass on the A-string*)
That all of your sadness and sickness will die
[VERSE 5:]
F C
For the enemy you seek to destroy
Em G
Is not the one who's causing your pain
F C
He's disguised himself well with his book and his bell
Em D
But evil is still his name
[VERSE 5:]
G Dm7 G Dm7
Poor old Ireland, tortured by past
G Dm7 G Dm7-G
And tarnished by future's curse
Dm7 G Dm7
Poor old Ireland, poor old universe

Wonder who comes off the worse
