Please welcome on stage, um, Angus Macaulay, Oisín's brother on the fiddle.
The bull fiddle.
[D]
[C] [G] This next song that we're going to do is like our lucky song at the moment, and it's a song that's very special to us.
It was written by Tommy [F#] Sands, and [D] it's all about what it was like for him growing up in Ross Trevor when he was a young fella.
And it's called The County Down.
[N]
[G] So we'll give it a go, please.
When you're out walking
And there's no one near you
But a voice keeps calling
And you hear her name
It's not the leaves or the whispering breezes
It's me that's calling you back again
Oh can [D] you [G] hear me?
Oh can you hear me?
As you roam through lonely [C]
London [G] town
When [C] evening's [B] falling
[G] [B] You'll [C] hear me [Cm] [Em] calling
Come on home [Am] now [D] to the [G]
county town
Do [C] you [G] remember the fiddlers playing?
The songs [C] and [G] stories that night [D] long?
Tears a [C] little, but [G] you [Bm] thought of [Em] leaving
[D] It [C] seems so strange now [G] that you [D] are gone
Oh can you
[G] hear me?
Oh can [C] you [G] hear me?
As you roam through lonely [C] [G] London town
When [C] evening's [G] falling
You'll hear me [Em] calling
[Bm] Come [D] on [G] home [D] now to the [G] county town
The [C]
[G] [D]
fish [C] are [G] dancing on Clamry River
The teams [C] are [G] sporting in a bling [D] way
My heart [C] no [G] longer can [Bm] leave the [Em] cheering
When you're [C] not playing [G] a different [D] game
[G] Oh can [C] you [G] hear me?
Oh can you hear me?
As you roam through lonely London town
When [C] evening's [G] falling
[Bm] You'll hear [D] me [Em] calling
[F#] Come on [G] home [D] now to the [C] county [G] town
[C] [G] [D]
[C] [G] [D]
[G] [D] [Em]
[C] [G] [Am]
[D] [G] I'm [C] always [G] thinking that things are changing
And that [C] they're [G] building a factory [D] town
[G]
And young [C] men [G] need it again [Bm] in [Em] view
But I [C] still need you [G] the most of [D] all
Oh [C] can you [G] hear me?
Oh can [C] you [G] hear me?
As you roam through lonely London town
When [C] evening's [G] falling
[Bm] You'll hear [F#m] me [Em] calling
Come [C] on [G] home [C] now [G] to the [C] county [G] town
