Verse 1
C C G G
Tell me why must a man be of service
C C G G
To his lord and the god seldom high
C C G G
From the grave spring the name of our fathers
C C Am Am D D
But there's no glint in a dead man's eye
C C G G
Tell me why are our fields filled with hunger
C C G G
And fruitless the crop bitter soil
C C G G
So I say my farewell to a nation
C C Am Am D D
As the leaf waves goodbye to it's son


Chorus
C C G G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
C C G G
And it's of youth I sing it now
C C G G
Like the train that derails without warning
Am Am D D
I must leave what I left far behind
C C D D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
G G C C G G C C G G C C G G
I say goodbye

Verse 2
C C G G
Tell me why must our peace be this puzzle
C C G G
That fractures the land, splinters war
C C G G
The last nails cite the shame in our coffin
C C Am Am D D
But in the end we must all die alone


Chorus


Bridge
D D
And the bark fell from tree
C C G G
To the ground that they'll bleed
D D G G
On the anguish that never learned to shout
D D
With the clash of the drum
C C G G
We'll surrender the gun
D D G G
and on this sadness we shall no longer speak
C C G G
Until time can live on our all forgotten songs
C C D D
That's when I and we will sing again
G G C C D D G G
So goodbye to my love, my sweet Roisin Dubh
G G C C
Goodbye now until we meet
G G C C D D G G C C G G
again

C C G G
Tell me why must our grief still be greiving
C C G G
For a language that never spoke it's loss
C C G G
But this tongue speak with fire will tear down the barb wire
N.C.
And Rip the belly from the waxy ghost


Chorus
C C G G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
C C G G
And it's of youth I sing it now
C C G G
Like the train that derails without warning
Am Am D D
I must leave what I left far behind
C C G G
So it's to youth I sing you this story
C C G G
And it's of youth I sing it now
C C G G
Like the train that derails without warning
Am Am D D
I must leave what I left far behind
C C D D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
G G C C G G C C
I say goodbye
C C D D
So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh
G G C C G G C C
I say goodbye
G G C C G G C C
Until we meet again
G G C C G G C C
Until we meet again

Until we meet...


Outro
G G
Then she arrives to beautify
D D
But slumber now must rest
G G
Oh my Roisin Dubh
C C
I'll forever love
G G D D G G
The youth you once possessed
