Verse 1
(D major) My Father (A minor) (D major) (G major) Left (D major) Old (G major) Ireland
So Many (C major) Years Ago (G major)
He Left (D major) His Home In (A minor) Gonway
Where The (D major) Green, Green Shamrocks (G major) Grow
He met my darling (D major) mother (G major)
on a (C major) boat to Newfound (G major) land
And it (D major) didn't take him (A minor) long
before he'd (D major) won her heart in (G major) hand
They both came to (D major) this (G major) is land
as (C major) happy as could be (G major)
To settle (D major) down together (A minor)
and (D major) raise a family (G major)
They built a little (D major) cot (G major) tage
and started (C major) to combine
(G major) The green (D major) of the shamrock (A minor)
with the (D major) green of the pine (G major)
From an island to (D major) an (G major) island,
from the (C major) green to the green
(G major) They left (D major) their homes to (A minor) settle in
a place (D major) they'd never seen (G major)
They exchanged the hill
(D major) s of (G major) Newfoundland
for the (C major) ones they'd left behind (G major)
And the (D major) green of the (A minor) shamrock
for the (D major) green of the pine (G major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (A minor) (D major)
(G major) As their family grew (D major) around (G major) them,
their (C major) eyes shone bright with pride. (G major)
They'd (D major) go to church each
(A minor) Sunday morning,
(D major) strolling side by side. (G major)
Each evening round (D major) the turf (G major) fire,
to (C major) heaven would ascend.
(G major) The decades (D major) of the (A minor) Rosary
for (D major) all in Ireland
(G major) Now the years pass by (D major) so quickly
(G major) And (C major) death we all must (G major) face
We laid (D major) our loving par (A minor) ents
In their (D major) final resting place (G major)
Yet they taught me to (D major) be thank (G major) ful
For this (C major) heritage that's (G major) mine
The green (D major) of the (A minor) shamrock
And the (D major) green of the pine (G major)
From an island to (D major) an (G major) island
From the (C major) green to the green (G major)
They've (D major) left their homes to (A minor) settle in
A place (D major) they'd never seen (G major)
They exchanged the hill (D major)
s of (G major) Newfoundland
for the (C major) ones they'd left be (G major) hind
And the (D major) green of the (A minor) shamrock
for the (D major) green of the pine
(G major) The (D major) green of the (A minor) shamrock
for the (D major) green of the pine (G major) you
