[A]
[E]
I've met some folks who say that [B] I'm a dreamer, [F#m]
and I've [B] no doubt of this truth in what [E] they say.
But then a body's bound to be [A] a [F#]
dreamer when all [B]
[E]
the precious things are dreams unto [A] an exile.
[F#m]
They [B] take him o'er the land and cross [E] the sea.
[B]
Especially [E] when it happens [A] he's in exile [F#]
from that [B] dear [G#m] lovely house [B] in [E] his tree.
And when [A] the moonlight [C#m]
beams upon us [E] the rooftops [C#m]
of this great [F#] city, [F#]
wondrous do it [A] be.
[B]
I [E] scarcely feel [C#m] its wonder [A] or its laughter.
[F#]
I'm [B] once again [E] back home in Innisfree.
[D]
I [A]
[E]
wander all green hills through [A] dreamy valleys [F#m]
and [B] find a place no other land [E] could know.
I hear the birds make music [A] fit for angels [F#]
and [B] watch the rivers [A]
laughing.
[E] But dreams don't [A] last, [C#m] though dreams are [E] not forgotten.
[C#m]
And soon [F#] I'm back to stern [A] reality.
[B]
And though [E] they've paved the footways here [A] with gold dust, [F#]
I still [B] would choose my isle [E] of Innisfree.
[D]
[E] [F#]
I [F#] still [B] would choose [A] my isle of
[E] Innisfree.
