Will They Lie There Ever More Irish Descendants
I was [D]born under the stars,
Never [A]meant to journey f[D]ar
From all the faces and the place
That I c[G]alled [A]home
And my [D]father lived the same
And his f[A]ather before [D]him
But now I see in my son's eyes
Something [G]has c[A]hanged
And the [G]smoke it has stopped r[A]ising
From the [G]chimney up the [D]road
And the light no longer s[A]hines over the d[G]oor
Last y[D]ear I lent a [A]hand
The haul the [D]boats unto the l[Em]and
They've been l[D]yin' there for n[A]ineteen months Or [G]more
And I [D]wonder will they [A]lie there everm[D]ore
VERSE 2
Wasn't [D]many years ago
That the [A]men 'round here would [D]go
Out in there skiffs and haul their traps out [G]on the [A]bay
And then [D]shortly they'd return
Loaded d[A]own from stem to s[D]tern
[D]And we'd off the fish then stow the gear [G]aw[A]ay
Now the [G]waters are as [A]barren
As the c[G]liff that guard the [D]cove
And catch the north wind [A]blowin' off the s[G]hore
And I [D]wonder how an [A]ocean
Turns as [D]lifeless as a s[Em]tone
And I [D]wonder can the s[A]ea revive once [G]more
And I [D]wonder will they [A]lie there ever[D]more
Solo
VERSE 3
Well I [D]hear some people say
We'd be [A]better off to [D]stay ashore
And [D]train for jobs outside the fish[G]er[A]y
Now wouldn't [D]I look like a fool?
To go t[A]raipsin' off to [D]school
After forty years of livin' o[G]f the [A]sea
Now my s[G]on he's barely [A]twenty-one
And h[G]andy at the [D]trawl
For [D]years he helped my [A]fish the Labra[G]dor
Now he's [D]movin' to On[A]tario bef[G]ore the first snow[Em]fall
Dad theirs [D]nothin' left for [A]me 'round here no [G]more
And I [D]wonder will I [A]see his children [G]born
And I [D]wonder will they l[A]ie there ever[D]more
THAIR YA GO
