Key: Bb major
Verse 1
G
If you ever go across the sea to
D
Ireland
G
Then maybe at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch
C
the moon rise over Claddagh
D
G
Or watch the sun go down on Galway Bay
Verse 2
D
For the breezes blowing o'er the sea
to Ireland
G
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands
C
diggin' praties
D
Speak a language that the
G
strangers do not know
Verse 3
D
For the strangers came and tried to teach
their way
G
And scorned us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing
C
after moonbeams
D
G
Or light a penny candle from a star
Verse 4
G
And if there is going to be a life
D
hereafter
G
And somehow I am sure there's going to be
C
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
D
G
In that dear land across the Irish sea
