American Townland chords

American Townland

• C

Saw there wasn't a tab for this so thought I'd write it out. Enjoy

Intro:
C   C/B   F   G x2

 C          C/B
American townland
F         G
Snow in Iceland
Russian farmland
And the sword of Islam
The state of new Israel
Remembers Belsen
Now there's sand for Palestine
And grass for Israel

                  F                                Am7  G
Won't you settle down, stop fighting for your gods...
Oh, settle down, stop fighting for your gods.
They can't hear you now, not with the noise of your guns.


C                            C/B
Once were towering steeples
F                        G
Now there's a soaring eagle
A crescent moon and a rising sun
Our prayers ascending, but what good will they bring?
If all that's willin' is more and more killin'
Won't you settle down, stop fighting for your gods...


F                                          Am7  G
Oh, settle down, stop fighting for your gods.
They can't hear you now, not with the noise of your guns.


C                        C/B
The mountains of Mourne
F                        G
The county Cork I was born in
This dirty old town
Where the rain's always fallin'..
Our prayers ascending, but what good will they bring?
When all that's willin' is more and more killin'
