[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ Walking all the [B] day [A] near tall towers where [B] falcons build [E] their nests. _
_ Silver winged [B] they fly, _ [A] they know the call [B] of freedom. _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] Saw _ Blackhead against [E] the sky, [C#m] where twisted [G#m] rocks [A] they run _ [C#m] to [B] the sea.
_ [A] Living on [E] your western _ shore, [C#m] saw summer _ [A] sunsets, asked [B] for more.
I [A] stood by [E] your Atlantic [B] Sea _ and [A] I [E] sang a song [B] for [E] Ireland.
_ _ _ Drinking _ [B] all the day in [A] old pubs [B] where fiddlers _ [E] love to play.
_ Saw one touch [B] the bow, _ he [A] played a reel [B] which seemed so grand [E] and gay.
_ _ [A] Stood on Dingle Beach and [E] cast [C#m] in wild foam [A] we found [C#m] _ [B] Atlantic _ bass.
[A] Living on [E] your western _ shore, [C#m] saw summer _ [A] sunsets, asked [B] for more.
[A] I stood by your [E] Atlantic [B] _
Sea [A] and sang [E] a song [B] for [E] Ireland.

_ [E] Talking _ [B] all the day [A] with true friends [B] who tried to make [E] you stay.
_ _ Telling jokes [B] and news, _ _ [A] singing songs [B] to while the [E] time away. _
_ [A] _ Watched the Galway _ [E] salmon run [C#m] like silver, [E] _ [A] dancing, [C#m] darting in [B] the sound.
[A] Living _ on [E] your western _ shore, [C#m] saw summer _ [A] sunsets, asked [B] for more.
I [A] stood by your [E] Atlantic [B] Sea _ and [A] I sang [E] a song [B] for [E] Ireland. _ _
_ _ Dreaming in [B] the night, I [A] saw a [B] land where no one had to [E] fight.
_ Waking in your [B] dawn, I [A] saw you crying [B] in _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] bed.
Sleeping where the [E] falcons fly, [B] [C#m] they twist and turn [A] all in [C#m] your air [B] blue sky.
_ _ [A] Living on [E] your western _ shore, saw [C#m] summer _ [E] _ [A] sunsets, [B] asked for more.
[Am] I stood by your [E] Atlantic [B] Sea _ and I [A] [E] sang a [B] song for [E] Ireland. _ _ _ _
