ON THE ONE ROAD (6/8)

[chorus]

G                      G  

We're on the one road, sharing the one load

G            C       G         D

We're on the road to God knows where

D            G            G          Em

We're on the one road, it may be the wrong road

             Am            D

But we're together now who cares

G                     Em

North men, South men, comrades all

Am               D

Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal

D            G                  Em

We're on the one road swinging along,

Em        Am D      G

Singing a soldier's song

 

Em

Though we've had our troubles now and then

G

Now is the time to make them up again

Em

Sure aren't we all Irish anyhow

Am                        D

And T’is the time to step together now

 

Em

Tinker, tailor, every mother's son

G

Butcher, baker shouldering his gun

Em

Rich man, poor man, every man in line

Am                     D

All together just like Old Lang Syne

 

Em           

Night is darkest just before the dawn

G

From dissention Ireland is reborn

Em

Soon we'll all be United Irishmen

Am              D

Make our land a Nation Once Again
