I got two strong arms
-7 -7 -8 7 -7 -6
blessings of Babylon
8 8 -9 8 -8 -9 8
With time to carry on and try
7 -8 8 8 -8
for sins and false alarms
-7 -8 7 -7 -6 6 5
So to America the brave
7 -8 7
Wise men save

Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground
-6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -6 6 6
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
-6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 6 6 -6 -7 -7
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
-6 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -6 6 6
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
8 9 -9 8 -8 7 -6 6 -6 -6
But he'll never, never fight over you
