Along The Famine Road Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[B] [F#] [B] [F#]

[VERSE]
[B]Rock by rock and [E]stone by stone,[F#] I walked along the famine [B]road
From the [E]limestone at The [B]Burren to the [C#m]foot of Mullagh[F#]mór
And I [E]had a silent [B]revelation as I [C#m]walked along the [F#]lonely strand [E]
That [E]every stone along this [B]road, was [E]touched by [F#]hungry [B]hands [F#]

[VERSE]
[B]In my mind I see their black coats[F#] turned against the wind and [B]rain
I [E]hear their cries of despe[B]ration, the [C#m]anger and the [F#]shame
To [E]see their children [B]die of hunger, to be [C#m]driven from the [F#]land
I [E]hear their prayers that [B]went unanswered, to [E]feed these [F#]hungry h[B]ands [F#] [B]

[VERSE]
In spite of rain and [E]hunger, they [F#]broke and laid these [B]stones
And [E]somewhere deep in[B]side them they found the [C#m]strength to carry on [F#]
And I'm [E]sure they never [B]realized, it was [C#m]never in the [F#]plan
But they [E]held the spirit [B]of a nation, [E]safe in [F#]hungry [B]hands [F#]

[VERSE]
Now they [B]say this road goes [E]nowhere, but I [F#]say it never [B]ends
For it [E]took their children [B]round the world, to [C#m]strange and distant [F#]lands
And [E]we who are their [B]children's children, in our [C#m]hearts we under[F#]stand
That [E]every road we've ever [B]walked, was [E]built by [F#]hungry [B]hands [F#] [E] [B]

[VERSE]
[B]Rock by rock and [E]stone by stone,[F#] I walked along the famine [B]road
From the [E]limestone at The [B]Burren to the [C#m]foot of Mullagh[F#]mór
And [E]we who are this [B]island's children in our [C#m]hearts we under[F#]stand
That [E]every road we'll ever [B]walk, was [E]built by [F#]hungry [B]hands [F#] [B]
