Lirik & Kunci Gitar The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn
[Intro]
G D Em C G D G
G D Em C G D G
[Verse 1]
G C G
McCormack and Meredith, gentle Frank and Johnny and the rest
Em C G D
In the winter they were crying with their hearts out of a mess
G C G
And into the evening with a glass of punch and port
Em C D G
And dancing down the Euston Road to listen to the corps
[Chorus]
G C G
And they listen to you, McCormack, sing your songs
Em C G D
And you listen to the bugle call to take you where you belong
G C G
And you died for the cause on the Somme and at Belleau
Em C D G
And you went to your maker for an answer and an oath
[Instrumental]
G D Em C G D G
[Verse 2]
G C G
And where the graves are lying on the lonely German shore
Em C G D
Where ghosts of brave young Irishmen will wander evermore
G C G
In the night they'll hear you whistling as clear as running streams
Em C D G
Through the smoke of the artillery and the whistling of machines
[Chorus]
G C G
And they listen to you, McCormack, sing your songs
