Simplificar Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste Shanagolden - Seán McCarthy [Verse 1] C F F C The cold winds from the mountains, are calling soft to me, G C G The smell of scented heather, brings bitter memories, G C Am G7 The wild and lonely eagle, up in the summer sky, C F G Flies high oe'r Shanagolden, where my young Willie lies [Verse 2] C F F C I met him in the wintertime, when the snow was on the ground. G C C G The Irish hills were peaceful, and love was all around. G C Am G Scarcely 21 years old; a young man in his prime; Am C F G We were married darling Willie, by the eve of Christmas time. [Verse 3] C F F C Do you remember darling, we walked the moonlit road, G C G I held you in my arms then, I'd never let you go, G C Am G Our hands they were entwined my love all in the pale moonlight, Am C F G By the fields of Shanagolden, on a lonely winter's night. [Verse 4] C F F C Then came the call to arms love, and the hills they were aflame, G C G Down from the silent mountains, the Saxon strangers came, G C Am G I held you in my arms then, my young heart wild with fear, F F G By the fields of Shanagolden, in the spring time of the year. [Verse 5] C F F C You fought them darling Willie, all through those summer days, G C G I heard the rifles firing, in the mountains far away, G C Am G I held you in my arms then, your blood ran free and bright, G F Am G And you died in Shanagolden on a lonely winter's night. [Verse 6] C F F C O but that was long ago my love, and (y)our son grows fine and tall, G C G The hills they are at peace again, the Saxon stranger(s) gone, G Em Am G We'll place a red rose on your grave, by the silvery pale moonlight G F Am G And we'll think of Shanagolden, on a lonely summer's night.
