[A]
I was dreaming of [D] old Ireland [A] and Killarney's lakes and fells.
[D] I was dreaming of [A] the shamrocks and [Eb] the dear old [E] Shandon bells.
[A] When my memory [D] suggested [A] in a vision bright and clear
[D] All the strange things that [A] would happen [E] if we had old Ireland [A] here.
If the Blarney stone [D] stood out on Sydney [A]
Harbour
[D] And Dublin town to Melbourne [A] came to stay.
If the Shannon river [D] joined the [A] Brisbane waters
[B] And Killarney's lakes flowed into [E] Badney Bay.
[A] If the Shannon bells [D] ring out in old [A]
Fremantle
[D] And County Cork and Adelaide did [A]
appear.
[Gbm] Errand sons would never [E] [Gbm] roam, all [A] the boys would stay [E] at home
If [A] we only had [E] old Ireland over [A]
here.

Where [Bb] the boys [Eb] are all called Paddy and [Bb] the girls called Molly dear.
