Am          G6            Em             Am
Silenced by death in the grave, ah ah ah ah
Am  G6              Em            Am
W B Yeats couldn't save, ah ah ah ah
Am          G6
Why did you stand here
G6        Em
Were you sickened in time
Em            Am
But I know by now
Am          G6              Em
Why did you sit here, ah ah ah

[Refrão]

Em     Am    G6
In the grave
G6       Em
In the grave, grave, grave
       Am     G6
In the grave
       Em
In the grave, grave, grave

Am
Why should I blame her
G6
That she filled my days
Em
With misery or that she would of late
Am                      G6
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways
Em                                    Am
Or hurled the little streets upon the great
             G6
Had they but courage
Em
Equal to desire

Am             G6             Em            Am
Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay, ah ah ah ah
Am             G6       Em            Am
But she had MacBride anyway, ah ah ah ah
Am
And you sit here with me
       G6
On the Isle Innisfree
         Em
And your writing down anything
              Am
But I know by now
            G6              Em
Why did you sit here, ah ah ah

[Refrão]

Em     Am    G6
In the grave
G6       Em
In the grave, grave, grave
       Am     G6
In the grave
       Em
In the grave, grave, grave

Am           G6
Why should I blame her
Em                                  Am
Had they but courage equal to desire
