Emerald (Live at Hammersmith Odeon, London, 26 November 1981)

[Intro]

What you wanna hear?

"Emerald"

Last night they wanted to hear "Rosalie," so

I was really disappointed, I thought they'd like to hear "Emerald" or something

"Emerald"

Which one do you want to hear?

"Emerald"

"Emerald," really?

Yes

I don't feel like playing it tonight

This is a number called "Emerald"

[Verse 1]

Down from the glen came the marchin' men

With their shields and their swords

To fight the fight they believed to be right

Overthrow the overlords

To the town whеre there was plеnty

They brought plunder, sword, and flame

And when they left the town, it was empty

And children would never play again

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

From the grave, I heard the fallen

Above the battle cry

By that bridge near the border

There were many more to die

Then onward over the mountain

And outward towards the sea

They'd come to claim the emerald

And without it will not leave

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]
