D

Last night I had a pleasant dream,
D 
E 
D 
I woke up with a smile.
E 
A 
I dreamt that I  was back again
E 
A 
in dear old Erin's Isle.
D 
E 
A 
I thought I saw Lough Allens Banks
G 
A 
in the valleys down below.
D 
G 
It was my lovely lead room
D 
where the Shannon waters flow.
I stood enchanted
G 
D 
A 
by the scene of grandeur and delight.
D 
E 
A 
I headed off for Carricktown
E 
A 
before the dark of night.
D 
E 
A 
I passed Shimon, that fairy hill,
G 
E 
A 
where flowers widely grow.
D 
G 
And I saw the grave of Fin -Hakul
D 
A 
D 
where the Shannon waters flow.
G 
The next I saw was Phaenon town
D 
E 
D 
with her ancient abbey wall
A 
E 
A 
Where the preaching of her holy monks
E 
A 
re -echoes through her halls
D 
E 
A 
I stood with reverence on the spot,
G 
E 
A 
reluctant far to go
D 
G 
From the town of saints and sages
D 
A 
D 
where the Shannon waters flow.
B 
E 
I've traveled far through
A 
these great lands,
E 
B 
E 
from the east unto the west.
F# 
B 
But of all the islands I  have seen,
F# 
B 
I love my own the best.
E 
F# 
B 
And if ever I return again,
A 
F#m 
B 
there's one place I     will go.
E 
A 
It will be to lovely Leitrim,
G#m 
F# 
B 
where the Shannon waters   flow.
