Paddy Goes to Holyhead - Heres To The People

      [Chorus]
    D             Em   C    D              Am   D
So, here's to the people, a long way they come
             Em         C         D          G
The emigrant races from merciless places are run
    D             Em   C    D              Am   D
So, here's to the people, a long way they come
             Em         C         D          G
The emigrant races from merciless places are run

[Verse 1]
Em         C            D
They don't believe what gouvernment said
     Em            C    D
They don't like to wait until they're dead
    Em           C       D
For thousands of reasons many have fled
         Em    C        D
From animosity and bloodshed

[Verse 2]
Em          C        D
Fathers and mothers, young and old
Em           C        D
Children and grannies along they strolled
    Em             C       D
You don't know the stories they were told
       Em        C    D
Of the land they will behold

[Chorus]
    D             Em   C    D              Am   D
So, here's to the people, a long way they come
             Em         C         D          G
The emigrant races from merciless places are run
    D             Em   C    D              Am   D
So, here's to the people, a long way they come
             Em         C         D          G
The emigrant races from merciless places are run

[Verse 3]
Em         C            D
You don't believe what gouvernment said
    Em         C    D
Do you like to wait until your're dead
    Em           C       D
For thousands of reasons many have fled
         Em    C        D
From animosity and bloodshed

[Chorus]
    D             Em   C    D              Am   D
So, here's to the people, a long way they come

The emigrant races from merciless places are run
    D             Em   C    D              Am   D
So, here's to the people, a long way they come

The emigrant races from merciless places are run
