Gortatagort

Am
I sing The Field I sing The Farm
Em
I sing The House my Mother was born
F
In Gortatagort Colomane
C
A green jewel


Am
Sewn in a patchwork quilt of fields
Em
Between the mountain and the River
F
In this time now and in another
C
Where I ran free with my brothers
Am
Through the Longmeadow The Cnocan Rua
Em
The Fortfield The Pairc na Claise
F
The Newhouse field The Guillane Field
C
The Clover Field The Rushy Field


F         G           Am                 Em
Where the Red Fuschia weeps in The Hen’s Garden
F              G          Am
And the angels bleed over Bantry Bay


Am
I see The House I see The Yard
Em
I see The Stall I see The Stable

I see The Hill I see The Well
Am
I sing The Spring of Well Water
Em
I sing The Field of Standing Stones

F         G           Am                 Em
Where the Red Fuschia weeps in The Hen’s Garden
F         G                    Am            Em
Where God goes to sleep in the hills and the valleys
F         G         Am        Em
Where the Moon rises over The Haggart
F         G          Am        Em
Where peace descends on Gortatagort
F         G                 Am
Where the angels bleed over Bantry Bay
