Robert William Gary Moore (4 April 1952 – 6 February 2011), was a Northern Irish musician, most widely recognised as a blues singer and guitarist.
In a career dating back to the 1960s, Moore played with artists including Phil Lynott and Brian Downey during his teens, leading him to memberships with the Irish bands Skid Row and Thin Lizzy on three separate occasions. Moore shared the stage with such blues and rock luminaries as B.B. King, Albert King, Colosseum II, George Harrison and Greg Lake, as well as having a successful solo career. He guested on a number of albums recorded by high profile musicians, including a cameo appearance playing the lead guitar solo on "She's My Baby" from Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3.
Moore started performing at a young age, having picked up a battered acoustic guitar at the age of eight. He got his first quality guitar at the age of 14, learning to play the right-handed instrument in the standard way despite being left-handed. He moved to Dublin in 1968 at the age of 16. His early musical influences were artists such as Albert King, Elvis Presley, The Shadows and The Beatles. Later, having seen Jimi Hendrix and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in his home town of Belfast, his own style was developing into a blues-rock sound that would be the dominant form of his career in music.
After the guns are silent
After your wounds have healed
After those crosses been planted in all those fields
After that long boat ride all the way across the sea
And after this train carries thee
----------------------------Chorus---------------------
I will love you after the war
Love you for always, forever more
I will love you after the war
Forever, for always and more
-------------------------------------------------------
After your boots dry and the tobacco is all but gone
Along with all those post cards you’ve carried under your arm
After I remember all the words I could not say
And after this long night fades away
----------------------------Chorus---------------------
I will love you after the war
Love you for always, forever more
I will love you after the war
Forever, for always and more
-------------------------------------------------------
After this blackbird lifts from up off your chest
And after your soul takes its final rest
My love I forgive you, you never planned to die
And love I’ll place two pennies over your eyes
----------------------------Chorus---------------------
I will love you after the war
Love you for always, forever more
I will love you after the war
Forever, for always and more
