[Intro]
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C x2
[Verse 1]
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
Thunder rolled and the rain came down St. Mary St
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
But on this day thousands stood their ground
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
A silent crowd who's heads are bowed in helplessness
Dm A Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
Bid farewell
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
And the wife of a Richard Penderyn
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
Supported there to weak to stand
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
Disbelieving anger and sorrow
Dm A Dm Am/C Bmaj7
For her innocent man,
A Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 C
an innocent man
[Chorus]
F/A Bb Csus4 C
She says, lift me up oh lift me boys
F/A Bb Csus4 C
Let me see the one I love
F/A Bb Csus4 C
Lift me up oh lift me now
Dm A Dm
Let me see the man I love one more time
[Bridge]
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C x2
[Verse 2]
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
Broken by starvation and poverty
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
While the iron masters sip their wine
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
Young and old together marched for justice
Dm A Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
But the bayonet and the bullet's what they find
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
"Bread or blood" cried a collier
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
"We've come too far lads now to run"
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
But in our Myther town in 1831
Dm A Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
They were cut down by the government guns
[Verse 3]
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
And in the midst of senseless slaughter
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
A soldier wounded in the thigh
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
Who later swore on oath at the trial
Dm A Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
That Dic Penderyn was not the guy
Dm Am/C Bbmaj7 Am/C
And though he stood for everything they wanted
