Eileen McMahon Chords by Margaret Barry

[E] _ _ _ _ One night as I lay [A] on me pillow _ _ A vision came into [D]
my view _ _
Of a ship sailing out on [A] the ocean [F#m] _ _
[E] And the wind did _ tremendously [A] blow _ _ _
[E] On the deck stood a handsome [A] young _ lady _ Her eagle's eye never saw [D] before
_ _ As she sighed, _ _ _
[A] country, [F#m] _ _ sin [E] and vanish from air [A] and green shore _ _ _
[E] Me name it is Eileen _
[A] _ MacMahon _ _ My age it is scarcely [D] eighty _ _ -eight
And I thank you kind sir for [A] your [F#m] kindness _ For [E] you don't know how lonely [A] I've _ _ been
[E] For riches indeed I [A] have plenty _ _ Your mentions is trifles [D] to _ me _
As the big ship sails out [A] on the _ [F#m] ocean _ _
[E] Eastbound way he promised [A] to be _ _
When I [E] lost my aunt _ [A] appearance in Ireland _ I was forced as an exile to [D] _ Roman _
Far away _ _ roaming [A] till I _ [F#m] reach [E] Where in childhood I once used [A] to roam _ _ _
[E] Far away from each mountain [A] and valley _ _ At the point of the gap of [D] Dunloe
_ _ Far away from sweet beautiful [A] _ _ _ [F#m] Macrae [E] And that beautiful spot I [A] adore _ _ _
[E] And in I awoke from [A] me slumber _ _ I looked for me Eileen [D] to see _ _
There was only the face of [A] my mother _ [F#m] _ With [E] a fond smile she gazed [A] upon _ me _
[E] As the ship on the ocean [A] has vanished _ _ And I fancy I see her [D] once more _ _ _
My beautiful _ Eileen [A] _ MacMahon _ [F#m] _ _
She's [E] the pride of all of _ Ireland's [A] green shore _ _ _ _
