[Intro]
Em D x2
[Verse 1]
Em D
We packed our few belongings and we moved across the ocean
Em D
To start a new life in this land so bold and vast
Em D
Dispersed from Ellis Island, my distant Irish kin
Em D
Eyes cut to the future, heart’s tied to the past
Em D
[Verse 2]
Em D
We held tight to our loved ones and we held on to the promise
Em D
and we scraped our meager living hand to mouth
Em D
We prayed to what would have us, every doubting John Thomas
Em D
spreading through the Appalachia ever south
Em D
Spread through Appalachia ever south
[Verse 3]
Em D
And I hear we weren’t welcomed here, at least not in those days
Em D
No one needs our drunken, fighting, thieving kind
Em D
But we settled in this new place and we worked it in our ways
Em D
and spread our kin upon it in due time
Em D
Spread our kin upon it in due time
[Chorus 1]
C9 G
And we fought our losing battles and we held onto our ways
C9 G
and we talk of how we left behind our better days
C9 G
Some were living lives of leisure, some surviving hand to mouth
Em D
Bash our heads against the future, ever south
Em D
Bash our heads against the future ever south
[Instrumental]
Em D x2
[Verse 4]
Em D
When I set my sights upon you, we were both still in our prime
Em D
We were moving in big circles that I sought out to combine
