Gulf Of Araby

[D]  [A]  [G]
       [D]  [A]  [G]

If you could [D]fill a veil with [A]shells from Killiney's[G] shore
and [D]sweet talk in a [A]tongue that is no [G]more
If [A]wishful thought could [G]bridge
The [A]Gulf Of Araby
Be[G]tween what [D]is, what [A]is, what [G]is
And [G]what can never be

      [D]  [A]  [G]
      [D]  [A]  [G]

If you could [D]hold the frozen flow [A]of New Hope [G]Creek
And [D]hide out from the o[A]ne they said you might me[G]et
If you could [A]unlearn all the w[G]ords
That you [A]never wanted he[G]ard
If you could s[A]tall the southern w[G]ind
That's w[A]histling in your ear
You could ta[G]ke what i[D]s, what i[A]s, what [G]is
To what can[G] never be

[D]One man of sv[A]enty whispers [G]free at last
Two neighbors who are proud of their massacres
Three tyrants torn away in a winter's month
Four prisoners framed by a dirty judge
[D]Five burned with tyres
[A]Six men still alive
And s[G]even more days to shake at the great divide

The [D]Gulf
The [A]Gulf
of Ara[G]by
The [D]Gulf
The [A]Gulf
of Ara[G]by

We would plough and part the earth to bring you home
We would harvest every miracle ever known
If they laid out all the things
That these ten years want to bring
We would gladly give them up
To bring you back to us
O, there is nothing wewould not give
To kiss you and believe we can take what is, what is, what is
To what can never be

One man of seventy whispers not free yet
Two neighbors who make up knee-deep in their dead
Three tyrants torn away in the summer's heat
Four prisoners lost in the fallacy
Five, on my life
Six, I'm dead inside
And seven more days to shake at the great divide
The Gulf Of Araby
