Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Derrol In The Rain
| G | D | C | G |
The | rain fell on the | people but | they never went a | way |
| D |
In an open field in | Cambridge |
| C | G |
It | was there I watched him | play |
| D |
He sung songs of his | homeland |
| C | G |
And | of the valleys that he | loved |
| D |
Of the mountains and the | wonders |
| C | G |
And | the great sky that they | loved |
| D | G | D | D7 | G |
Oh | Derroll was his | name, as | wise as | gentle as could | be |
| D | G | D | D7 | G |
He | played his music all | over | Singing his | songs for you and | me |
He spoke about his music and about his love of life,
About the people that surround him, his best friends and his wife
He spoke of great injustice to the places he once knew,
Ah nature how you've suffered, wherein freedom once you grew
He told to the people about to the war that had begun
You know there killing one another father brother and son
He sang of an old woman who had children 1, 2, 3
Of the heartbreak when he told her how they killed her family
Yes I watched in the rain
From gentle voices word did sound
His wrinkled had that played his banjo
And all the
people stood around
