[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Walking all [F] the day [Eb] near [Bb] tall [Gm] towers where falcons [F] build [Bb] their nests. _
Silver winged they [F] fly, _ [Cm] they [Bb] know the [Eb] call of freedom [F] in [Bb] their breasts.
[Cm] Saw [Eb] black hair against [A] the [F] sky, [Bb] with twisted [Gm] rocks [Bb] that run down [Eb] to the [F] sea. _
_ [Eb] Living [Bb] _ on your western [F] shore, [Gm] saw [Bb] summer [E] sunsets, asked [F] for more.
[Eb] I stood by [G] your [Bb] Atlantic _ [F] sea, [Cm] and [Gm] sang a song for _ [Bb] _ _ Ireland. _
_ _ _ Talking all [F]
the day [Eb] with true [Bb] friends [Eb] who tried [F] to [Bb] make you stay. _ _
Telling jokes [F] and news, [Bb] [Cm] singing [Gm] _ [Eb] songs to pass [F] the [Bb] night away.
_ [Cm] Watch [Eb] the Galway salmon [F] run _ [Bb] like silver, [Gm] dancing, [Bb] _ [Eb] darting in the [F] sun. _ _ _
[Eb] Living on [Bb] your western [F] shore, [Bb]
saw summer [E] sunsets, asked [F] for more.
[Eb] I stood by _ [Bb] your Atlantic [F]
sea, _ [Cm] and sang [Bb] a song [Eb] for [Bb] Ireland. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Drinking [F] all the day [Eb] in [Bb] old [Eb] pubs where fiddlers [F] loved [Bb] to play.
_ _ Someone touched [F] the ball, [Eb] he [Bb] played a [Eb] reed that seemed so [Bb] grand and gay.
_ [Eb]
Stood on Dingle Beach and [F] _ _
cast [Bb] in wild [Gm] foam, [Bb] we [Eb] found [F] Atlantic bass.
_ _ [Eb] Living [Cm] _
[Bb] on your western shore, [F] [Gm] saw summer sunsets, asked for [F] more.
[Dm] I [Eb] stood [Fm] by [Bb] your [F] Atlantic sea, [Cm] and [Gm] sang a song for [F] [Bb] Ireland. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Dreaming [F] in the night, _ _ [Eb]
I [Bb] saw a land [Eb] where no man [F] had to [Bb]
fight.
_ _ Waking in your [F]
dark, [Cm] I saw [Bb] the _ [Eb] _ _
[F] _ [Bb] morning light.
_ [Cm] _ [Bb]
[Eb] Lying where _ [Gm] _ [F] _ _ _
[Bb] they twist and [Gm] turn, [Bb] all in [Eb] your rare [Gm] blue [Fm] skies.
_ [Eb] Living on [Bb]
your western shore, [F] [Gm] saw summer [C] sunsets, [F] asked for more.
[Eb] I stood [Bb] by your Atlantic [F] _ sea, [Cm] and [Bb] sang a song [Cm] for [Gm] Ireland. _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] And sang [Gm] a song for [F] [Bb] Ireland. _ _ _ _ _
