Chords for Dick Gaughan - Song For Ireland

[D] Walking [G] all the [A] day, _ [D] by tall [G] towers there,
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] Still the wind [A] they fly, _ [G] they know the [D]
call of the free [Am] [D] men there.
_ _ [G] _ Saw black hairs against [A] the sky, [D] with twisted [G] rods,
[D] They run _
[G] to [Am] the sea. _
[G] Living on [A] your [D] western shore,
Saw summer [G] [D] sunsets past [A] the moor,
[G] Stood by [D] your glancing [A] sea,
[G] And sang [D] a song [A] of [G]
Ireland.

_ [D] _ _ _ _
Drinking [G] all [A] the day, in [G] old [D] pubs, [G] where [Am] fiddles like [D] to play. _
Saw [G] one touch [A] the bow, _ [D] they played a ring, [G] which [A] sees a [D] grander day.
_ _ [G] We stood on Dingle Beach, [A] and cast [D] in [G] wild foam,
[D] We [G] found [Am] Atlantic _ _ [G] baths.
Living on [Am] your [D] western shore,
Saw [G] summer [D] sunsets past [A] the moor,
_ [G] Stood by your [D] glancing _ [A] sea,
[G] And sang [D] a song of Ireland. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _

_ [G] Talking [A] all the day,
_ [D] Truth and [G] good _ [A] times, we [D] make you stay.
_ _ Telling [G] jokes and [A] news,
_ [G] Singing _
[D] songs, [G] the [A] past the time [D] away.
_ [G] We watch the gondway sand [A] _
run,
[D] Like [Gm] silver, _
[D] dancing, dancing [A] in the sun.
_ [G] Living on [A] your [D] western shore, _
Saw [G] summer [D] sunsets past [A] the moor,
[G] Stood by your [D] glancing [A] sea,
_ [G] And [D] sang a song [A] of [G] Ireland.
