Chords for Tom Paxton - Ireland [Live at WAMU's Bluegrass Country]

Well, can I ask you to give us a preview of your new record?
_ Let me think.
Yeah, I can do something from that. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Let's try this. _

I met you on the beach in June, [E] the bonfire [B] burning bright. _ _
Friend of friends I'd known for years, another summer [F#] night. _ _
_ _ [E] _ You made room [B]
beside you [E] there, your toes dug [B] in the _ _ sand.
_ _ That distant summer when I found you [E] and you _ [B] _ _ found Ireland.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The bonfire died, I drove you home sometime [G#m] around three or [B] four.
_ _ We sat outside and talked and talked another hour or [F#] more. _ _ _
_ [E] When you got up [Bm] to go inside, [E] I had our [B] summer planned.
_ _ _ _ And that's when you said that you were leaving [E] that [B] night _ _ for Ireland.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] I _ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ hung _ around the beach that week, but [G#m] nothing felt [B] the same.
_ And trying to get started _ was another losing _ [F#] game. _ _
_ [E] And why I felt [F#] so out of [B] things I could not understand.
_ _ _ _ _ _ I only knew that you were gone, you [E] _
[B] were _ in _ Ireland.

_ _ _ _ I sold my car in Providence to [E] buy a round [B] trip fare.
And off I flew to Ireland in hopes I'd see [F#] you _ there. _ _ _
[B] They knew you in _ [F#] _
[B] O'Donoghue's [E] where you'd sung with [B] the _ _ _ band.
_ That distant summer when I found you and [E] you _
_ [B] _ found Ireland. _ _
_ _ _ _ They said you'd gone to Galway, then [E] you'd hitched to [B] Donegal. _ _ _ _
McGrory's up in Koldoff was where you could hear [F#] it all. _ _ _ _
[E] _ Our love was [B] on the stage when I slipped in and took your _ _ _ hand.
_ That distant summer when I found you and [E] we [B] _
_ _ found Ireland. _ _
_ _ _ _ I fell in love with Ireland, I [E] fell in love [B] with you.
_ And when you said you felt the same, well, what else could I [F#] do?
_ _ [B] _ _
[E] Now all these [B] years of loving you is [E] obeying some [B] sweet _ command.
_ _ _ _ It's summer now and once again we'll [E] _
both [B] _ _ find Ireland. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ It's summer now and once again [E] we'll _
_ [B] both find Ireland. _
