Standard Tuning

C
Winding roads,
Am
Shadows are frightening,
F                                        C
From mountains that reach toward the sky
C
On my way,
Am
But blurred by the vision,
F                                 C
That you have been telling me lies
C
Up, down,
Em
I'm searching over
F                                  C
For answers to all of these rhymes
C
I try to unleash
Em
My uncharted anger that's
F                          G
Burning and tearing inside

         F         G
Well I'll try to find
         F         G
But I know it's behind
         F         G
All the walls that all
         C
Cover my fate
         F         G
Well I'll try to listen
         F         G
To the rush of the wind
         C
As it brands and batters 

my brain

C Am F C x 2

C
You say,
Am
I cannot trust you,
F                                     C
In the words that you've spoken before
C
Well I just 
Am
Play back the memories,
F                                C
Of times when I laid on the floor
C
Can this be true
Em
It's so hard to believe
F                              C
How can anyone be so damn mean?
C
Well I just
Em
Walk through the shadows
F                       G
Impatient and weary inside

         F         G
Well I'll try to find
         F         G
But I know it's behind
         F         G
All the walls that all
            C
Cover my fate
         F         G
Well I'll try to listen
         F         G
To the rush of the wind
         F         G
As it brands and batters 
        C
My brain

C Am F C x 2

         F         G
Well I'll try to find
         F         G
But I know it's behind
         F         G
All the walls that all
            C
Cover my fate
         F         G
Well I'll try to listen
         F         G
To the rush of the wind
         F         G
As it brands and batters 
        C
My brain

** Stop Hitting Chords **
Aaron's Part : 
Me mother and father were Irish
And I am Irish too
I bought a wee petal for nine cents (Not really sure of this line)
And it is Irish too

** Start playing the C Am F C progression again **
I'm up in the morning early
To greet the dawn of day
Me mother and father were Irish
And I am Irish too...

Finish on the C chord

Josh's Part : (He sings the same line repeatedly)
I will not bow to the English, Oh no.
