[D] [G] [Bm]
[F] [G] [E]
[A] [D] Far [G]
over I have been, [C] and er over I [G] must stay,
And to that faithful cow d [Em]'ye now [A] I will return [D] some day.
[G] Oof, O'er ye how I love you, with [C] your heather [G]-scented air,
Silently [Bm] the peaceful [Dm] grusna [E]
calls [A] her friends [D] from far [G] and near.
O'er Kinnitie I long to see, [C] while the wood-vines in [G] full bloom,
To stroll the fields around [Em]
Cuvane, hear [A] the wild birds in full [D] tune.
[G] At Conmac noise I see you, and [C] to Gwannaher we [G] stray,
Where the fishermen [Bm]
we [F] drink [E] and hear of [A] the ones [D] that got [G] away.
Though dead or still in exile, are [C] some friends I used [G] to know,
Till I must pass Killahee, [Em]
where [A] great sportsmen are laid [D] low.
[Em] [G] By Crohan Hill I see you, [C] where in childhood I did [G] stray,
Adieu [Bm] to you, [B] great [E]
Tullamore, [A] I must [D] be on [G] my way.
[Bm]
[F] [G] [E]
So [A] [D]
[G] [E]
[A] pile the brown turf on the fire, [D] bring a keg in from the [A] barn,
Let the blacksmith sing his rebel [F#m]
song, [B] let the porter tell [E] his yard.
[A] Come close, my friend and neighbour, [D] fill your glasses to [A] the brim,
And we'll [F#m] toast our [C#m] all [G]-fleet [F#] heroes from [B] the heather, [E] hill and [A] land.
And we'll toast [C#m] our all [G]-fleet [F#] heroes from [B] the [E] heather, hill [A] and land.
