“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.” ― George Bernard Shaw
Knock Song 1 At the [C]early age of thirty-eight Me [G]Mother said 'Go [C]West!' [C]'Get up, ' says she. 'and get a job'. Says [F]I, 'I'll do my [C]best' [F]I pulled on me [C]Wellingtons to [Dm]march to Kilti[G]magh But I [C]took a wrong turn in Charlestown and [G]ended up in [C]Knock Oh [C]once this quiet crossroads was a [G]place of gentle [C]prayer Where [C]Catholics got indulgent [F]once or twice a [C]year. You could [F]buy a pair of [C]rosary beads or [Dm]get your candles [G]blessed If you [C]had a guilty conscience you could [G]get it off your [C]chest. Then [C]came the priest from Partree, Father [G]Horan was his [C]name And since he's been appointed Knock has [F]never been the [C]same. [F]'Begod,' says Jem, 'tis [C]eighty years since [Dm]Mary was [G]adout.' 'Tis [C]time for another miracle.' and he [G]blew the candle [C]out. From [F]Fatima to [C]Bethlehem, from [F]Lourdes to Kilti[C]magh, There's never been a miracle like the [G]airport up in [C]Knock To es[C]tablish terra firma he drew [G]up a ten year [C]plan And started running dances [F]around 196[C]1. He [F]built a fantabulous [C]church, Go h-álainn, [Dm]on the holy [G]ground And [C]once he had a focal point he [G]started to ex[C]pand Chip [C]shops and Bed and Breakfasts sprung [G]up over [C]night. Once a place for quiet retreats [F]now a holy [C]sight. All [F]sorts of fancy [C]restaurants for [Dm]every race and [G]creed Where [C]black and white and yellow pilgrims [G]all could get a [C]feed The [C]stalls once under canvas became [G]religious super[C]marts With such a range o' godly goods, they [F]had top twenty [C]charts. While the [F]airport oppo[C]sition was Des[Dm]troyed by James' trump [G]card. For [C]centenary celebrations he got [G]John Paul the twenty-[C]third 140 | P a g e
