[Verse 1]
D G
At 18 years old and I ran the farm
A D
This men came in with arms
D G
They burnt the house, they took our lands
A D
They broke our living plants
D G
Me father said, if you want to live
A D
You fight them like a man
D G
So I punched their nose and then I kicked their ass
A D
But then my hands were cuffed
[Chorus]
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G A D
Give a little heart break, give a little soul
D G A D
Give a little heart break, give a little soul
[Verse 2]
D G
6 hungry years behind the bars
A D
Was not enough for me
D G
To change my mind to fighting for
A D
My brothers from the tree
D G
So at 24 I got on my horse
A D
And fought my enemy
D G
But at the fields of play they shot me in the back
A D
Well, at least I did die free
[Chorus]
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G A D
Give a little heart break, give a little soul
D G A D
Give a little heart break, give a little soul
[Bridge]
Am Em Dm Am
Lalala lalala lalalalalalalala
[Chorus]
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
[Verse 3]
D G
Now me body's dead and me spirit lives up
A D
Here with other Saints
D G
St. Patrick and I are having fun
A D
And drinking tons of beer
D G
Meanwhile on Earth the Irish clans
A D
Are fighting for their lands
D G
I wish I were there with my gun in my hand
A D
Fighting for them to be free
[Chorus]
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son (oh please don't...)
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
D G
Take away, take away, take away
A D
Take it away, my son
