Damien Dempsey - Sam Jenkins, аккорды

Вступление Sam Jenkins Damien Dempsey - Soulsun 2017 [Intro] D G D G D G [Verse 1] D G D G My name it is Sam Jenkins I come from old Whitington Hill D G D A Em My people bow their heads down to the Lord of the manor still. D G D G I grew up mean and hungry, dirty and poor and sick D G D A Em I tried my best for not to steal, too afraid of the Van Diemen ships [Verse 2] D G D G Well the only road to money it was the road to the army gates D G D A Em I took that road in ’45 with a gang of my Staffordshire mates D G D G We were shipped across to Ireland some rebellions for to quell D G D A Em Stationed North of Galway in a landscape that mirrored hell [Verse 3] Bm A When we sailed into Galway before my head and pride G Bm G I will never forget the skeletons with a crazed look in their eyes Bm A And their little children wailing as hunger ate them alive G Em G When I realised what I was doing there, with the shame I nearly died [Verse 4] D G D G The food removal regiments, we were there to guard the food D G D A Em Being shipped each day to England while the starving they were subdued D G D G They said we needed the food more, for our hungry boys abroad D G D A Em And the Irish apes who farmed it they weren’t men in the eyes of the lord [Verse 5] Bm A My dear friend Billy Cooper he couldn’t console himself G D Em G From a cherry tree in the back field he was hanging by his belt Bm A In the 41st foot regiment, just north of Galway town G Em G I felt myself the servent of a devil in a crown. [Verse 6] D G D G I disobeyed an order, I refused to shoot a man D G Now stripped of my gun and uniform D A Em I am bound for Van Diemen's land [Verse 7] D G You rogues who rule Britannia D G May you burn in hell for good D G Us poor we do your dirty work D A Em Then you dine on our flesh and blood [END]
