_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] Far across yonder blue
[Eb] Lies a true [Bb] fairy land
With a [F] _
[Gm] seery plain [F] over [C] the shingle _
[F] and sand
[Bb] And the gay _ honeysuckle _ [Eb] is luring [Bb] the bee
_ And the green [F] _
[Bb] glens of Antrim [F] are _ [G] calling [Bb] to me
[Eb] Sure if only [Cm] you knew [Bb] how the [F] light [Bb] of the moon
Turns a [D] blue [Gm] Irish [F] bay [C] to a silver _
[Eb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] You'd imagine _ a picture _ [Eb] of heaven it [Bb] could be
Where the [F] green [Bb] glens of Antrim [F] are _ calling [Bb] to _ me
Soon [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] I hope to return _ [Eb] to my own [Bb] cushioned doll
_ It is the one [F] place [Gm] for me that [C] can _ outshine [Cm] them [F] all
[Bb] Sure I know _ every stone, [Eb] I recall _ [Bb] every tree
_ While the [F] green [Bb] glens of Antrim _ [F] are _ [C] welcoming [Bb] me
_ [Eb] And I'd haunt [Cm] a cabin [Gm] _ [Bb] close [F] down by [Bb] the shore
And I'd knock [D] with [Gm] my [Bb] heart [C] on that wee [Cm] cabin door
[F] _ [Bb] While the sun _ showers gold _ [Eb] in the lap [Bb] of the sea
_ And the green [F] _
[Bb] glens of Antrim [F] are _ [C] calling [Bb] to _ me
_ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] Tis alone my concern _ [Eb] if the _ grandest [Bb] surprise
Would be shining [F] _
at [F] me out [C] of _ _ [F] somebody's eyes
Tis [Bb] my _ private affair what [Eb] my feelings _ [Bb] would be
While the green [F] _
[Bb] glens of Antrim _ [F] are _ welcoming [Bb] me
_ [Eb] Sure I'd be where [Cm] the people are [Bb] faithful [F] and [Bb] kind
And among _ [D] them the one who's [C] been on _ [Eb] my [F] mind
And [Bb] I'd pray that the world would [Eb] in peace let [Bb] me be
Where the [F] green [Bb] glens of Antrim _ [F] are heaven _ [Bb] to _ _ me
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Cm] _ _
