Intro: G   Em   Am   C   G   Em   Am   D   G    

                                              Em 
There are people in the world tonight who are weeping 'cause they're glad 
      Am                                                C 
Their war songs all are happy, their love songs all are sad 
G                                   Em 
People ache and then be there, then always wish them well 
        Am                                 D                 G 
They'll love you like a brother back, then fight amongst themselves 


Chorus: 
         Em       Bm                    Am 
And it's my blood running through their rivers 
Em       Bm                    Am 
My blood running through their pains 
C        Dsus4           G              C 
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar 
Am       C                     Em   C   G 
My blood washing through their veins______ 


                                        Em 
They always drink the parting glass and leave the shamrock shores 
       Am                                                 C 
That's why you find them flocking home with open arms and doors 
     G                              Em 
They miss their native country like mothers miss their sons 
        Am                                D              G 
They'll sing all night of going back, but that day never comes

And it's my blood running through their rivers 
Em       Bm                    Am 
My blood running through their pains 
C        Dsus4           G              C 
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar 
Am       C                     Em   C   G 
My blood washing through their veins______

         Em       Bm                    Am 
And it's my blood running through their rivers 
Em       Bm                    Am 
My blood running through their pains 
C        Dsus4           G              C 
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar 
Am       C                     Em   C   G 
My blood washing through their veins______ 


                                     Em 
Their loving land was never mine, to missing call my own 
      Am                                            C 
Their histories and struggles are not the ones I've known 
         G                                      Em 
But I've worn their scars with pride enough and winced with pain they felt 
    Am                                        D                      G 
And rant and cried with the busted ones, with each hand they've been dealt

And it's my blood running through their rivers 
Em       Bm                    Am 
My blood running through their pains 
C        Dsus4           G              C 
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar 
Am       C                     Em   C    
My blood washing through their veins___ 


Em       Bm                    Am 
My blood running through their rivers 
Em       Bm                    Am 
My blood running through their pains 
C        Dsus4           G              C 
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar 
Am       C                     Em   C   G 
My blood washing through their veins______
