_ _ [G#m] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I've been away from _ Ireland now _ for _ [F#] nearly 50 [C#] _ _
years
_ And _ _ thoughts of home are still so dear to [G#] _ me _ _
Often [C#] I gaze across the ocean and _ my _ eyes [F#] grow dim [C#] with _ tears _
Let me tell you of the [F#]
visions [G#] _ [C#] that I've _ seen _
_ _ As a _ _ barefoot child I stood there when the summer _ sun [F#] did _ _ shine
_ [C#] Across _ the steep bluff, that little church down [G#] _
there
_ [C#] And we _ gathered every evening while _ the weather [F#] would [C#] be fine _ _
Around _ _ the [F#] chapel gates _ [G#] in _ [C#] Couretland _
_ _ So _ in dreams I'd love to ramble down the village street
_ _ [F#m] And meet the boys [C#] and girls _ gathered [G#] _ there
_ [C#] For to _ sing the good old _ _ songs telling _ _ of [F#] old [C#] Ireland's run
_ _ _ Around _ _ the [F#m] chapel _ _ [G#] gates in _ [C#] Couretland _ _ _ _
There _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ were weddings planned _ and matches made and _ _ stories [F#] old and new _
_ [C#] _ Around _ among the boys _ that [G#] gathered _ there
_ _ [C#] And we played those football _ matches _ till the _ final [F#] whistle [C#] _ blew
_ _ _ Around _ _ the [F#] chapel gates [G#m] in _ [C#]
Couretland
_ _ _ We _ would talk _ about the neighbours, _ _ the weather _ _ [F#] and the _ times
_ [C#] And who the boys were _ _ courting on [G#] the sly
_ _ We [C#] would _ _ watch the colleagues passing down _ and bid them [F#] the [C#] time of day
_ And perhaps _ we'd [F#] catch a twinkle [G#] in [C#] their eye _ _ _
So in dreams I'd love to ramble down the village street _
And [F#] meet the boys [C#] and girls _ gathered [G#] _ _ there
For [C#] to sing the good old _ songs telling _ _ of [F#] old _ [C#] Ireland's run
_ _ _ Around _ _ the [F#] chapel gates [G#m] in _ [C#] Couretland _ _ _ _
_ Now I'm growing old and weary in this land so far away
_ But [F#] I'll return [C#] to Ireland yet if [G#] God wills fare
_ _ [C#] And when _ all is done they'll lay me _ at the _ closing [F#] of [C#] my _ day
_ _ _ Inside _ _ the [F#] chapel _ _ gates [G#m] in _ [C#] Couretland _ _ _
