Women Of Ireland Lyrics And Guitar Chords 

The Wolfe Tones. Written by Brian Warfield

(Dm)Women, Women of (G)Ireland your (Dm)glory's in the (G)shade
Your dreams they have (C)gone and de(Am)cayed
The (Dm)deeds you have done they all went unsung
By no Bard or no (C)one
For without you there is (G)nothing 
Except love (Am)songs in the (G)wind
And all of your (Dm)struggles and des(Em)pair
And there were (C)castles in the air -C-C


Chorus
(C)Shout it from every mountain
From every (Em)mountain on (Dm)high
And the four winds will (C)sigh

For (Dm)Ireland, Ireland's your (G)glory
And your (Dm)monuments built on your (G)sorrow and (C)pain
For if ever the seas and the (Dm)oceans run (G)dry
Tears of (Am)struggles and of (G)joy
And all of your (Dm)sadness and your (Em)pain
Would fill the (C)oceans up again -C-C

(Dm)Daughters, Daughters of (G)Erin to the (Dm)Cuman na (G)mBan
Your dream was to (C)see Ireland (Am)free

Thru a(Dm)grarian struggles were determined to win

And from there to be(C)gin
There you were dressed for re(G)bellion
But your (Am)beauty could not (G)hide 
Your sorrow and (Dm)suffering and des(Em)pair
And there were (C)castles in the air -C Change of key (optional)! -A

(Dm)Women, Women of (G)courage, you (Dm)suffered in your (G)silence
You kept Ireland's (C)spirit a(Am)live

You were im(Dm)prisoned, your people enchained

But you never gave (C)in
In troubled days of old (G)Ireland
You were the (Am)brave ones who (G)fought
Through oppression and (Dm)famine and des(Em)pair
And there were (C)castles in the air –C-C
