[F]
[C] [Am] [C] [G]
[C] To the county [F] that's known as [C] the kingdom,
[G] Has memories dear to [C] each one.
To [F] the emigrant living [C] in London,
[Am] [D] In Boston or far off [G] Melbourne,
Some [C] remember [G] the lakes of [C] Killarney,
Some [F] remember the rose of [C] Tralee.
[F] But I've got my own [C] special [Am] memory,
Of [C] the county [G] that's so dear [C] to me.
Take [F] me back, take me back, to [C] the kingdom,
To [G] the county that's been home [C] to me.
[F] Just lay me to rest with [C] the foe [Am] Salafist,
[C] In the heart [G] of the kingdom [C] of Kerry.
But to others [F] the [C] sweetest of memories,
[G] That they all would like [C] to recall,
[F] Were the men in the green and [C] gold [Am] jerseys,
[D] Who loved to play gay [G] league football.
[C] Make no twain [G] the great [C] Mac O'Connell,
[F] Not forgetting the four [C] in a row.
[F] The music and songs [C] of Lee [Am] Drew,
[C] Their [G] memory will go [C] on and on.
Oh, [F] take me back, take me back, [C] to the kingdom,
[G] To the county that's been [C] home to me.
[F] Just lay me to rest [C] with the foe [Am] Salafist,
[C] In the heart [G] of the [C] kingdom of Kerry.
[F]
I [C] [Am] [C] [G]
[C] [C#] remember [F#] Puck Fair [C#] in Killarglan,
[G#] The all-Ireland flag [C#] in Lestowe,
[F#] Or how I used [C#] to go [A#m] walking,
[D#] Near the shadow of sweet [G#] Carinthule.
[C#] Valley [G#] fungin will [C#] always be special,
[F#] It was there that I met [C#] Peg O'Shea.
[F#] Now we're married for over [C#] three [A#m] decades,
[C#] I love [G#] her more [C#] every day.
Oh, [F#] take me back, take me back, [C#] to the kingdom,
[G#] To the county that's been [C#] home to me.
