Tom Williams Song Words And Guitar Chords
Time[G] goes by as years roll[D] onwards, [C]Still in [D]memory fresh I [G]keep, Of a night in Brlfast[D] prison, Una[C]shamed I [D]saw men[G] weep. [2] As the time was fast approaching, A lad lay sentenced for to die, On the second of september, He goes to meet his God on high. [3] Now he's marching to the scaffold, Head erect he shows no fear, And while standing on that scaffold, Ireland's cross he holds so dear. [4] Now the cruel blow has fallen, For Ireland he has given all, Who in the flower of manhood, Proudly answered to the call. [5] Brave Tom Williams we salute you, And we never shall forget, Thoes who planned your brutal murder, We vow we'll make them all regret. [6] So[G] I say to Irish[D] solders, [C]If from[D] Tom's path you chance to[G] stray, Just keep memory of that[Em] morn, When Ireland's[C] cross was proudly[D] borne, By a lad who lies within this[C] prison [G]grave.
