One Starry Night
Sean Tyrrell


           D     G          D
One starry night   as I lay sleeping
           D          Em     A
One starry night as I lay in bed
            D     G              D
I dreamed I heard   wagon wheels creaking
         A                   D
When I awoke my own love had fled


                D         G             D
I’ll search the highways,  likewise the byways
                D            Em             A
I’ll search the boreens, the camping places too
       D          G       D
I will enquire of all our people
                  A                   D
Have they tide or tidings or signs of you?


[chorus]
           D           G               D
Many’s the mile, love,   with you I’ve travelled
           F#m         Bm7      Em       A
Many’s the hour, love,     with you I’ve spent
              D    G            D
I dreamed you were   my love forever
            A                   D
Now I find, love, you were only lent


[instrumental]


            D    G                  D
I’m drunk today,  but oft-times I’m sober
                      Em      A
A constant rover from town to town
         D           G        D
When I’m dead and my sorrow’s ended
          A                        D
Molly Bán astoírín come and lay me down


[chorus]
           D           G               D
Many’s the mile, love,   with you I’ve travelled
           F#m         Bm7      Em       A
Many’s the hour, love,     with you I’ve spent
              D    G            D
I dreamed you were   my love forever
            A                   D
Now I find, love, you were only lent
