Verse:
         B             
Wipe the blood from your lip
         D
With the flesh of your hand
          B                         A 
Theres no thorn in the side left to grow
        B                          D
So lets cherrish the names that we lost for an age
         G           A           B
With the rue now the supper must go

Where traditions they blend lives a home on the mend
The grass glistens now for alls eyes
So lets sever the shame we have come to reclaim
With the waters retreat feel the shore for us
         G                    A                    B
Woth the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more
          G                         A                  F#
Where the ghost still haunt for the day we come to the fore

Chorus:

           D
Don't look back
          A  
For whats dead now is safe
    G                        A
The exiled, a home where the soul kept safe
        D           A            
Take me back on the crest of a wave
        B             A       B
No more tears for you paddy's lament
        G              A
No more tears, No more paddy's
  B       G A B G A 
Lament
 
Verse:
Rip the dreet from his heart
Theres no sorrow tonight
For onc bannished dreams sleep devine
Where the silence you hear is the prosper we shared
The only blade is a razor sharp smile
Still the church bell rings the colective sings that still roam
But the only thing left is the pain of nothing once more

Chorus:
Don't look back
For whats dead now is safe
The exiled, a home where the soul kept safe
Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for you paddy's lament
No more tears
No more paddy's
Lament

Verse:
Grab the leaf of the branch from the tree in the ground
Where the roots claimed the earth many tioled
To a land that now stands under no-ones command
And her beauty let no man destroy
So rember the gun and the damage it's done
The last drop as been silled for you and I
Let there be no desperre for the rule we once shared
Brush the tear from the eye that still shines

Where the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more
Where the ghost still haunt for the day we come to the fore

Chorus:
Don't look back
For whats dead now is safe
The exiled, a home where the soul kept safe
Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for you paddy's lament
No more tears
No more paddy's
Lament

Don't look back
For whats dead now is safe
The exiled, a home where the soul kept safe
Take me back on the crest of a wave
No more tears for you paddy's lament
No more tears
No more paddy's
Lament
No more tears
No more paddy's
