Аккорды с текстом песни The Blantyre Explosion - Christy Moore

Capo 5

      Am          G          C          Em  
By Clyde's bonny banks as I sadly did wander 
 C             D           Em           Am  
Among the pit heaps as the evening drew nigh; 
                G          C              Em   
I spied a young woman all dressed in deep mourning 
 C            D             Am   
А-weeping and wailing with many a sigh. 
 
 Am            D            C         Em  
I stepped up beside her and gently addressed her: 
 Am                   G             C             Em  
Would it help you to talk about the cause of your pain? 
 Am            G          C            Em  
А sobbing and sighing, at last she did answer 
 C                  G           Am    G      Am  
Johnny Murphy, kind sir, was my true lover's name. 
 
  Am                G            C                  Em  
Twenty-one years of age, full of youth and good looking 
       C          D           Em          Am  
To work down the mine of High Blantyre he came, 
                 G              C                 Em   
Our wedding was fixed, all the guests they were invited 
 C                   G       Am     G    Am                  
That calm summers evening my Johnny was slain. 
  
 Am               D             C         G            
The explosion was heard, by the women and children 
       Am          G          C         Em                                  
With pale anxious faces they ran to the mine. 
         Am              G             C                   E  
When the truth was made known, how the hills rang with mourning 
 C                G             Am     G    Am  
Three-hundred-and-ten Scottish miners were slain. 
  
 Am         D              C           am     Em  
Mothers and daughters and sweethearts and lovers 
        Am      G              C       Em  
The Blantyre explosion you'll never forget; 
 Em   Am           G         C    Em   Am   Em  
Come all you good people who hear my sad story 
 Em  C       G           Am     G    Am   
Remember the miners who lie at their rest
