Verse 1
C 
G 
D 
G 
It's many years ago now
C 
G 
since I left my mail home
C 
G 
Searching for those green hills
A 
D 
somewhere across the foam
G 
But I  was young and foolish
C 
G 
and I longed for city lights
C 
G 
Away from my clear island
D 
G 
and its lovely scenic sights
Somewhere along life's highway,
C 
that dream began to die
G 
C 
G 
Like waves out on the ocean,
A 
D 
years went rolling by
G 
And tonight I'm reminiscing
C 
about my old home in Mayo
G 
C 
G 
I can see the lights of Westport
D 
G 
in the gloaming long ago
C 
A heart so full of memories,
G 
it'd never be at rest
A 
D 
I recall a  girl I knew long, long ago
G 
And late at night when all is still
C 
G 
And the moon peeps over the hill
C 
G 
D 
I dream about my old home in
G 
C 
G

Mayo

Eb 
Ab 
Oh, I   would love to walk once more
Db 
Ab 
the castle by the quay
Db 
Ab 
to watch the golden sunset
Bb 
Eb 
upon a western sea
Ab 
i stroll along the mountain path
Db 
Ab 
beneath the harvest moon
Db 
Ab 
Db 
Ab 
a few miles out from louisburg
Eb 
Ab 
on the road to kill a dune someday
i'll go back again
Db 
Ab 
to my old home in the west
Db 
Ab 
Where Atlantic waters cradle,
Bb 
Eb 
the place that I love best
Ab 
And the girl from lovely Westport
Db 
Ab 
is a memory now I guess
Db 
Ab 
But the yearning deep inside me
Eb 
Ab 
doesn't make the hurting less
Db 
A heart so full of memories
Ab 
could never be at rest
Bb 
Eb 
Cm 
I recall a girl I knew long, ago
Eb 
Ab 
And late at night when all is still
Db 
Ab 
and the moon peeps over the hill,
Db 
Ab 
Eb 
Ab 
I dream about my old home in Mayo.
