If you ever go across the sea [E] to Ireland, then maybe at the closing of [A] your day, you
will sit [Em] and watch [F#] the moon rise [B] over Potter, [E] and see the sun go down on [A] Galway Bay, just
to hear again the rippling [E] of the trout stream, the women in robes making [A] hay, and to sit
[Em] beside [F#] a turf bar in [B] the cabin, [E] and watch the barefoot dozens at [A] their place, [E]
[A]
or the
strangers came and tried to [E] teach us their way, they scorned us just being what [A] we are,
they [Em] might as well [F#] go chasing [B] after moonbeams, [E] or light a pinning handle [A] from a star, and
if there is going to be a [E] life hereafter, and somehow I am sure there's going [A] to be,
I will [Em] ask God [F#] to let me make [B] my heaven in [E] that dear land across the [A] Irish Sea.
