Em                  D
The truth will ever hide
C             D
Even though I tried
     Em               D
They tried to take my pride
         C            D           Em D
But they only took my father from me
     C            D      
They only took my father
Em   D        C
Even though I cried
Em   D        C     D
Even though I tried again


Chorus 1
Em D C               D
     God be with you Ireland
Em D C               D
     God be with you Ireland


Verse 2

    Em          D
Sometimes I was afraid
C             D
Even though I prayed
     Em               D
I've lost my religion now
    C                 D
You took that too somehow
Em    D        C
Blood upon thy hands
Em    D        C      D
Blood upon thy hands again


Chorus 2

Em                D
(I have served my time)
C               D
God be with you Ireland
Em               D
(Suffered for my crime)
C               D
God be with you Ireland

Em                D
(I have served my time)
C               D
God be with you Ireland
Em               D
(Suffered for my crime)
C               D
God be with you Ireland

God be with you now
God be with you now
God be with you now
God be with you now
