[E]
I've met some folks who say that I'm [A] a dreamer,
[F#m] And [B] I've no doubt there's truth in what [E] they say.
But sure a body's bound to be [A] a [F#m] dreamer
When all [B] the things [F#m] he loves [B] are far [E] away.
And precious things are dreams [A] into an exile.
[F#m]
They take [B] him o'er the land, across [E] the sea.
Especially when it happens [A] he's in exile
[F#m] From [B] that dear [F#m] lovely [B] isle of
[E] Innisfree.
And [A] when the moonlight peeps across [E] the rooftops
Of this great [F#] city, [E] [Am] wondrous [F#] though [B] it be,
I scarcely [E]
feel its wonder [Bm] [E] or [A] its laughter.
[F#m] I'm [B] once again [F#m] back home [B] in
[E] Innisfree.
[F#m]
I [E] wander o [B]'er [E] green hills, through dreamy valleys,
[A] [F#m] And [B] find a peace no other land [E] could know.
[F#m] I hear the [E] birds make music fit for [G#m] angels,
[F#m] [F#] And watch [B] the river laughing as they [E] flow.
But [A] dreams don't last, though dreams are [E] not forgotten,
And soon I'm [F#] back to stern [B] reality.
[A]
[B] But though they [E]
pave the footways here [A] with gold dust,
[F#m] I still would [B] choose [F#m] the isle [B] of [E] Innisfree.
