DRUMMY B - NEW MODEL ARMY -------------------------- Bm Bonfires blaze across the city A Smoke swirling into the sky D We were standing shoulder to shoulder EmD Billy McCann and I
Our faces ruddy and burning As we stared on into the flames But I know now the thing we saw that night Were not the same
Chorus ------------------------------ D Now I see you as I walk away BmA Standing by your barricade D It's all over now between us EmD Billy McCann, Goodbye -----------------------------
So let's sit up at the bar for the last time The way we used to do And I'll toast the love that you showed me And the faith I gave to you We can drive out and watch the sunrise From the top of the glenshane pass And I won't make you answer the questions I've always tried to ask
---- Chorus ---
Now I see you as you walk away Still standing by your barricade and I know you will never forgive me Billy McCann, Goodbye.
