Snake With Eyes Of Garnet

Last night as I lay dreamingMy way across the seaJames Mangan brought me comfortWith laudnum and poitinHe flew me back to DublinIn 1819To a public executionBeing held on Stephen's GreenThe young man on the platformHeld his head up and he did singThen he whispered hard into my earAs he handed me this ring[Refrão]If you miss me on the harbourFor the boat, it leaves at threeTake this snake with eyes of garnetMy mother gave to me![Próxima Parte]This snake cannot be capturedThis snake cannot be tiedThis snake cannot be tortured, orHung or crucifiedIt came down through the agesIt belongs to you and meSo pass it on and pass it on'Till all mankind is free[Refrão] (repetir)[Próxima Parte]He swung, his face went purpleA roar came from the crowdBut Mangan laughed and pushed meAnd we got back on the cloudHe dropped me off in LondonBack in this dying landBut my eyes were filled with wonderAt the ring still in my hand[Refrão] (repetir)[Próxima Parte]And if you miss me on the harbourFor the boat, it leaves at threeTake this snake with eyes of garnetMy mother gave to me!***Tab 2*** by The BearACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL TABS BOOK OF ALBUMintro,, D,,G/B,,G,,D,,Bm,,D,,Bm,,Am6,,,,,ST NIGHT AS I A Y DDAM ING,,MY WAY ACROSS THE SEAJAMES MANGAN BROUGHT ME COMFORT,,WITH A UDNUM AND POITIN
