Old Claddagh Ring chords by Dermot O'Brien
Verse 1
C
F
C
G
C
By the old clattering,
should it once be grandmothers
F
C
She wore it a lifetime,
D
G
gave it what she knew
C
All through the long years,
she wore it so proudly
F
G
It was made where the clatter
C
G
C
rolls down to the sea
What tales it could tell
F
C
of trials and of hardship
F
C
And grand happy days
D
G
when the whole world would sing
C
So away with your sorrow,
it will bring love tomorrow
F
G
C
Sure everyone loves it,
G
C
F
C
G
C
they all clap their veins
With the crown of the crest
to remind us of honour
F
C
And clasping a heart
D
G
that God's blessing would bring
C
The circle of gold
always kept all contented
F
C
With true love entwined
G
C
in the owl -clad ring
As she knelt at her prayers
F
C
And thought of her dear ones
F
C
Her soft, gentle smile,
D
G
it would charm a king
C
On her walk and as she told me her story
F
C
You could see the bright glint
G
C
F
C
G
C
of the owl -clad ring
It was her gift to me,
and it made me so happy
F
C
With this on my finger,
D
G
my heartbeats would ring
C
No king on his throne
could be half so happy
F
C
As I am when wedding
G
C
may outclad a king
For when the angels above
F
called me up to heaven
C
F
C
In the hearts of the platter,
D
G
their voices were saying
C
Sing away with your sorrow
You'll be with us tomorrow
F
C
Be sure and bring with you
G
C
your outlander way
F
C
Be sure and bring with you
G
C
your outlander way
