Among The Wicklow Hills

Christy Moore


Tom: C

C           G                   F       
The autumn evenings filled with copper shades
C                            Am
I see the birds' neck in the frame
G                       Am
A figure walks into the sunset
C               G                      F
Someone goes past suspended from the sky

F
Takes more imagination
F                         C
When everything's remote control
F
For me it's just a case of
F                             C
What's on the far side of the road

G       F
Tell everybody
C         G             F
I'm going away for ten years
Am              C
I'm going to wander
G               Am      F
Among the Wicklow hills

C           G                   F
The travelling children in their Sunday clothes
C                            Am
Lost on the corner of the Street
G                       Am
Fat gypsy lady smacks the windowpane
C               G                F
A farm dog gets out on the motorway

F
Takes more imagination
F                         C
When everything's remote control
F
For me it's just a case of
F                             C
What's on the far side of the road

G       F
Tell everybody
C         G             F
I'm going away for ten years
Am              C
I'm going to wander
G               Am      F
Among the Wicklow hills
