Generations

G                  D              
They farmed in the fields and they
 C             G
 worked in the factories
C             G            D
Surviving the cold and the rain
G                    D           
They built the great land that 
   C            G
they call Emerald Isle
C             D              G
Amidst all the hardships and pain


C                  D              
They came from the fields and the 
G
cities
           C                  D   
With their strength and their 
            Em
souls and their minds
C                      G         
And they sang and they danced to

So they never would leave them 
      G
behind

They left from the docks all aboard 
sailing ships
To the strains of American Wakes
Once through Ellis Island they 
started the trip
With a dream of a new life to make

They came from the fields and the 
cities
With their strength and their souls 
and their minds
And they sang and they danced to the
 tunes of old Ireland
So they never would leave them 
behind

They work different jobs and they 
still raise their families
Surviving the changes and times
They gather in places to share in 
the music
And sing with the tunes and the 
rhymes

They came from the fields and the 
cities
With their strength and their souls 
and their minds
And they sang and they danced to the
 tunes of old Ireland
 So they never would leave them 
behind

We come from the suburbs and cities
With our strength and our souls and 
our minds
And we sing and we dance to the 
tunes of old Ireland
So we never will leave them behind.
