Verse 1
G 
When I
was a young lad,
D 
C 
my father brought me to
G 
A song about a farmer
D 
C 
who grew hay under the moon
G 
D 
And as the ship was taking off,
C 
he reached out for my hand
D 
G 
Said, son, you know I love you,
D 
C 
but you gotta understand

Hey!
So he
G 
left his home in Ireland
D 
in a pub where he's born
C 
G 
He left his knives and bag of pots
D 
C 
lying on the floor
G 
A sailor's tale of windy care
D 
C 
will be his dinner end
G 
But nobody will see it,
D 
C 
G 
for no one will be there on the day
C

You sail away, you take

We wait, we wait, for the tides to break

The birds, they flew, but they did not sing
G 
The ship horns blew,
C 
D 
but they never rang
G 
The money stopped a comin' all,
C 
D 
couldn't pay for nothin'
G 
The land was a -dyin',
C 
D 
he said as I was cryin'
G 
Son, I fear I must depart
C 
D 
to help this family of ours
G 
If your ship goes astray,
just look up at the stars!
