The Friendly Ranger at Clontarf Castle Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[D] fr[A]ien[D]dly[G][D][A][G][A]
ranger [G]paused
And scooping a bowl of beans
[F]Spreading them like stars
Falling [C]like justice on [Em]dif ferent
[A]scenes[G]

[Verse 2]
[A]"I'm damned"
"indeed, comrade"
[F#m]"I'm being bombed[A]"
[G]An d all the people's [C]faces turned straw
[F]berry blonde
[A][G][D][Am]

[Verse 3]
[C]
[G]By the mor[A]ning gate the[F]
friendly ranger waits
For the [D]sun making sure it's not [A]late
"just [D]in time" "no need to fear" "well,
just in case"
And all the [G]people are happy [D]for
an[A]other year[C][Bb]
And in the evening [C]shade he climbs

[Verse 4]
upon [Bb]the sun[D]
Getting it's glow
He goes on

[Interlude 1]
Singing this song
[Bb][A][C]
[Bb][D][Bb][C][D]

[Verse 5]
To feel the goodness glow[A]ing inside
[C]To walk dow[G]n a street with my [C]arms about your hips,
[D]side by side
To play with a sad [A]eyed
child till [C]he smiles
To look at a starry sky at night,
real[D]ize the miles

[Verse 6]
[D]To see the sun set behind the [A]steeple
[C]Clontarf castle, no king,
queen or knightly [D]people
A coal fire and it's pour[A]ing rain
To wave [C]goodbye to a very good [G]friend,
[C]never meet aga[D]in
Little thoughts [A]bring [C]little mem[D]ories of you to me
