INTRO: G Em Am C G Em Am D G
There are people in the world tonight who are [Em]weeping 'cause they're glad
Their [Am]war songs all are happy, their love songs all are [C]sad
[G]People ache and then be there, then [Em]always wish them well
They'll [Am]love you like a brother back, then [D]fight amongst them[G]selves
CHORUS:
And it's [Em]my blood [Bm]running through their [Am]rivers
[Em]My blood [Bm]running through their [Am]pains
[C]My blood [Dsus4]mixing with the [G]whiskey in the [C]jar
[Am]My blood [C]washing through their [Em]veins[C]____[G]__
They always drink the parting glass and [Em]leave the shamrock shores
That's [Am]why you find them flocking home with open arms and [C]doors
They [G]miss their native country like [Em]mothers miss their sons
They'll [Am]sing all night of going back, but [D]that day never [G]comes
CHORUS:
And it's [Em]my blood [Bm]running through their [Am]rivers
[Em]My blood [Bm]running through their [Am]pains
[C]My blood [Dsus4]mixing with the [G]whiskey in the [C]jar

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