Verse 1
(G major) (A minor) (E flatdim) (E minor) (C major) (D major) (G major) My
Feet are here (D major) on Broad (G major) way
This blessed (D major) harvest morn
And (F sharpdim) oh, the ache that's in them
(G major) For the (E flatdim) spot where (D major) I was (G major) born
My weary hand (D major) s are blistered
(G major) from working (D major) cold and heat and,
(F sharpdim) to swing a scythe (C major) again
through fields (D major) of Irish wheat.
(G major) Had I (A minor) the chance (D major) to wander (G major) back
or (A minor) own a king's (D major) abode,
I'd sooner (G major) see the half (C major) -bound tree
down the Isle (D major) of Wight. (G major)
(A minor) (E flatdim) (E minor) (C major) (D major)
(G major) My mother died (D major) last spring (G major) time
when Ireland's (D major) fields were green.
The (F sharpdim) neighbors said her waking
(C major) was the (E minor) finest (E flatdim) ever (D major) seen.
(G major) There were snowdrops
(D major) and prim (G major) roses
piled high beside (D major) her bed
And the village (F sharpdim) church was crowded
(C major) when the funeral (D major) mass was said
(G major) But here (D major) am I (F sharpdim) on Broad (C major) way,
oh, (A minor) building bricks by (D major) loan
When they carried (G major) out her coffin
(C major) down the (G major) Isle (D major) of (G major) Wight. (E flatdim) (E minor) (C major) (D major)
(G major) A life's a (D major) weary puzzle,
(G major) past finding (D major) out by man.
I take the (F sharpdim) day (G major) for what it's worth
and do (E flatdim) the be (D major) st I (G major) can.
Since no one cares (D major) a (G major) rush for me,
what needs to (D major) make a moan?
I (F sharpdim) go my way and draw (C major) my pay
and smoke (E flatdim) my pipe (D major) alone.
(G major) Each human heart (F sharpdim) must (D major) know its (G major) grief,
(C major) Though little (A minor) be its (D major) load.
So God (G major) be with you, (C major) Ireland,
And (G major) the Isle of (D major) Road.
(G major)
