Goats Dont Shave
G
(início)
Gsus Bm My name it is Sweeney, a father of two sons I am, D Gsus A cottier tenant, like many a true mountain man, Gsus Bm My wife fell to famine and my heart will never repair, D Cadd9 Gsus But worse was to come in the form of a John George Adair.
Verse 2
Gsus Bm The news in the valley, a stranger had bought up land, D Gsus Soon twenty eight thousand aces he would command, Gsus Bm But we were to learn that the blood in his body ran cold, D Cadd9 Gsus For the suffering of the poor was John Adair's goal.
Chorus
Em C G The hills and the mountains know your name, Em C G The deer even hang their heads in shame, Em C G And even the longest winter's rain, Em C G Can't wash away for the suffering and pain, C D G Of the Evictions at Derryveagh.
Verse 3
Gsus Bm You swore on us lies, you had us arrested and jailed D Gsus For the murder of Murray your agent, but justice prevailed Gsus Bm But vengeance was feasting inside of your cold Scottish heart D Cadd9 Gsus So, the notice was given, the people and land they must part
Verse 4
Gsus Bm One morning in April, 1861 D Gsus Two hundred soldiers, their bayonets shone in the sun Gsus Bm Led by the sheriff they marched with the Crowbar brigade D Cadd9 Gsus And a widow, six daughters, a son, first homeless were made Repeat Chorus

Verse 5
Gsus Bm Two hundred and forty-four people made homeless that day D Gsus While John Adair's castle was planned for the shores of Lough Veagh Gsus Bm Some to the poorhouse, some to Australia's shore D Cadd9 Gsus But all said goodbye to a homeland they'd see never more
