Peace On The Border

C

[Verse]
  G/B     F/A C  G     Am
After the riding we dispersed
   F       C       G
We drifted home in twos and threes
        C    G/B F/A  C  G     
Through cold and rain we spat and 
Am
cursed
     F       C      G   C
This ancient war of families

[Verse]
  G/B  F/A    C   G      Am
Armies passed and then returned
    F           C           G
They killed and raped, they stole 
and burnt
   G/B  F/A C      G       Am
So from the cradle we have learnt
   F     C       G
To be as hard as stone
    F          G      Am  G/B  C
And learned to stand alone...

[Chorus]
D        G                       
They are gone now, the killing 
     D/F#  A  D
and disorder...
D/F#         C      G           
They're just ghosts now, the 
           D  D/C D/B
brigand and marauder
    Am      G          C     G/B
And we give thanks for peace on 
    D  Em
the border
D  D/F# G          C     G/B    
We give thanks for peace on the 
D  G
border

[Verse]
C     G/B F/A C   G        Am
Cloak and dagger, crime on crime
F       C      G
Anarchy in the borderlands
    C      G/B F/A C       G    Am
The King's men came with a Valentine
   F         C            G      
To break the power of the border 
C
clans

[Verse]
     G/B  F/A   C    G     Am
Some were hung, some sent away
   F       C           G
To Ireland and the low countries
C     G/B     F/A   C    G      Am
Great was the price they had to pay
    F           C   G
God bless their memory
    F         G       Am  G/B  C
And god bless you and me....

[Chorus]
D        G                       
They are gone now, the killing 
     D/F#  A  D
and disorder...
D/F#         C      G           
They're just ghosts now, the 
           D  D/C D/B
brigand and marauder
    Am      G          C     G/B
And we give thanks for peace on 
    D  Em
the border
D  D/F# G          C     G/B    
We give thanks for peace on the 
D  G
border

[Bridge]
C                      G       C
The broken towers that stand today
                      G
Stand for peace and order
  C            G       C
Reminding us until the day
                     G  C  D
That we need no more borders

[Chorus]
         G                         
They are gone now, the killing and 
   D/F#  A  D
disorder...
D/F#         C      G    
They're just ghosts now, the 
                   D  D/C D/B
brigands and marauders
    Am      G          C     G/B
And we give thanks for peace on 
    D  Em
the border

We give thanks for peace on the
