Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Meet Me At The Pillar
| C | G |
I was | walking down by Island Bridge just doing as I | please |
This April day the sun was warm
| C |
There was but a gentle | breeze |
| C7 | F |
I wandered up the old stone | steps into the Phoenix | Park |
| G |
To watch the children laugh and | play |
| C |
In the hours before the | dark. |
I strolled up the monument and lay down on the ground
Then people started crying when they heard the battle sound
I don't know what came over me for a moment I could hear
The echo of a soldier's voice kept calling in my ear
Met me at the Pillar son, met me there at noon
I need you brave young Irishmen, there is something we must do.
Chorus:
| C | F | C |
Meet | me at the | Pillar son,Please meet me there at | noon, |
| G | C |
I need you brave young | Irishmen,there's something we must | do, |
| F | C |
please meet me at the | pillar son , forit still is not too | late |
| G | C |
It's time to sing a | freedom song Come soon I cannot | wait |
I turned around to see this man but nobody was there
In the distance I could here the Drums
Yet it's stillness fill the air
I closed my eyes and in my dreams a soldier I could see
He said his name was Padraig Pearse and he kept on calling me.
That awful night I lay awake and many times I cried
I could not answer his command no matter how I tried
There in the dark I did my best to say a silent prayer
That when they take him to his fate
He'll know how much I care.
