Newgrange

	D	Bm	D	A
Your	mysteries lay	hidden in	stones that can't	speak,

	G	F#m	Bm
Thru'	time all your	wondrous knowledge we	seek,

	G	D	Bm	A
Be ye	tomb or a	temple we'd	like to know	why

	D	Bm	G	D
On	mid-winter's	morning - you	seek light from the	sky,

	Bm	G	D	A
Your	white quartz	stones must have	brightened the	days

	G	F#m	Bm
When	the sun it shone	down and reflected its	rays,

	D	G	D
You re	fuse us a key - or	some Rosetta	Stone,

	Bm	G	D
We gaze on just	Circles - on your	Motifs and	Bones.

Chorus

	D	Bm	D	A
Sing a	way Brú na	Bóinne on the	Banks of the	Boyne,

	G	F#m	Bm
Fal de	da for your	glory would not yield to	time,

	G	D	Bm	A
Glory	o! to the	men and the	women laid to	rest

	D	Bm	G	D
Who brought	greatness to	Ireland - the	Isle of the	blessed.

	D	Bm	D	A
From your	pillars of	grandeur and the	answer is	sought,

	G	F#m	Bm
When the	tombs of the	Pharoahs were only a	thought,

	G	D	Bm	A
Irish	folk in their	labour looked	up from the	Boyne

	D	Bm	G	D
To see	standing a	monument - that would	not yield to	time.

	Bm	G	D	A
You saw	Chieftains, Na	Fianna and	monks stopped to	call

	G	F#m	Bm
And they	trampled the	hills onto Tara's Royal	Halls,

	D	G	D
And they	watched on the Cradle - of	our art and de	sign

	Bm	G	D
That inspired Irish	artists - much	later in	time.

Chorus

	D	Bm	D	A
For you're	placed in a	county still	royal with its	arms

	G	F#m	Bm
With a	river of	beauty with countless wild	charms.

	G	D	Bm	A
You	stand there ma	jestic and	tower on the	plain,

	D	Bm	G	D
And your	passage of	wonder - a	secret re	mains.

	Bm	G	D	A
So be	proud all of	Erin of a	history long	gone,

	G	F#m	Bm
That in	spired gene	rations of men later	on.

	D	G	D
Your	age is your greatness - and a	testament	still

	Bm	G	D
As we look at	Brú na Bóinne - on a	County Meath	hill
