Walking [B] all the day [F#] near [A] tall [B] towers where falcons build their [E] nests.
Silver winged they [B] fly, [A] they know the call [B] of freedom in their [E] breath.
[A] Saw blackhead against the [E] sky [C#m] where twisted 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.
[A] I stood by your [E] Atlantic [B] sea and [A] I sang [E] a song [B] for [E] Ireland.

Drinking [B] all the day [A] in old pubs [B] where fiddlers love [E] to play.
Saw one touch [B] the bow, [A] he played a reel [B] which seemed so grand [E] and gay.

Stood on Dingle Beach [E] and 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 [E] sang a song [B] for [E] Ireland.

Telling jokes [B] and the news, [A] singing [B] songs to while the time [E] away.
[A] .
Watched the Galway [E] salmon run [C#m] like silver [A] dancing, [C#m] darting in [B] the sun.
[A] Living on [E] your western shore, [C#m] saw summer [A] sunsets, asked [B] for more.

Dreaming in [B] the night, [A] I saw a [B] land where no one had to [E] fight.
Waking in your [B] dawn, I [A] saw you [E] crying [B] in.

Sleeping where the [E] falcons fly, [B] [C#m] they twist and [A] turn all in [C#m] your air [B] blue sky.
