Verse 1
(G major) (E major) (A major) (D major) (A minor) (D major) If (G major) you ever go across
the sea to (D major) Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your (G major) day,
You will sit and watch (E major) the moon
rise over (A major) Claddagh,
And (D major) see the sun go down
on Galway (G major) Bay.
Just to hear again the ripple
of the trout (D major) stream,
The women in the meadow making (G major) hay.
Just to sit beside a (E major) turf fire in the cab (A major) in,
And (D major) watch the barefoot
gosoons at their (G major) play.
For the breezes blowin' o'er the (D major) sea from Ireland
Verse 2
Are perfumed by the heather
as they (G major) blow
And the women in the uplands (E major)
diggin' praties (A major)
Speak (D major) a language that the
(A flat major) stranger (D major) s do not (G major) know.
Yet the stangers came and tried to teach us their (D major) way.
Verse 3
They scorned us just for
bein' what we are. (G major)
But they might as well go (E flat major)
(E major) chasing after moon (A major) beams,
Or (D major) light a penny candle from a star. (G major)
And if there's is going to be a life hereafter, (D major)
Verse 4
And somehow I am sure
there's going (G major) to be,
I will ask my God to (E major) let me make my (A major) heaven,
(D major) In that dear land across (A major) the (A minor) Irish sea. (C major) (D major)
(G major)
