Daoiri Farrell - Windmills chords

One more of my chord sheets of Songs Daoiri sings:



Daoiri plays this one with capo on 2nd fret. This is how I play it, so maybe there are some differences ;-)
If you use the app songbook on iPad or iPhone just copy and paste. If you use a similar programme it might work, too.


{t:Windmills}
{c:Alan Bell}


[D]In days gone [A]by, when the [G]world was much [D]younger
Men [D]harnessed the [A]wind to [G]work for man[D]kind
[D]Seamen built [A]tall ships to [G]sail on the [D]ocean
While [D]landsmen built [A]wheels the [G]corn for to [D]grind


{soc}
And a[D/F#]round and a[A/E]round and a[G2]round went the [D]big sail
[D]Turning the [A]shaft and the [G]great wooden [D]wheel
[D]Creaking and [A]groaning, the [G]millstones kept [D]turning
[D]Grinding to [A]flour the good [G]corn from the [D]field
{eoc}

In Flanders and Spain and the lowlands of Holland
And the kingdoms of England and Scotland and Wales
Windmills sprang up all along the wild coastline
Ships of the land with their high canvas sails

{soc}
And a[D]round and a[A]round and a[G]round went the [D]big sail
[D]Turning the [A]shaft and the [G]great wooden [D]wheel
[D]Creaking and [A]groaning, the [G]millstones kept [D]turning
[D]Grinding to [A]flour the good [G]corn from the [D]field
{eoc}


In Lancashire, lads work hard at the good earth
Ploughing and sowing as the seasons declare
Waiting to reap all the rich, golden harvest
While the miller is idle, his mill to repair

{soc}
And a[D]round and a[A]round and a[G]round went the [D]big sail
[D]Turning the [A]shaft and the [G]great wooden [D]wheel
[D]Creaking and [A]groaning, the [G]millstones kept [D]turning
[D]Grinding to [A]flour the good [G]corn from the [D]field
{eoc}


Windmills of wood all blackened by weather
Windmills of stone, glaring white in the sun
Windmills like giants all ready for tilting
Windmills that died in the gales and the sun

{soc}
And a[D]round and a[A]round and a[G]round went the [D]big sail
[D]Turning the [A]shaft and the [G]great wooden [D]wheel
[D]Creaking and [A]groaning, the [G]millstones kept [D]turning
[D]Grinding to [A]flour the good [G]corn from the [D]field
{eoc}
