{t:Song For Ireland}
{st:Phil and June Colclough}


[D]Walking all the [A]day
Near [Em]tall towers where [G]falcons [A]build their [D]nests
[D]Silver winged they [A]fly
They [Em]know the call of [G]freedom [A]in their [D]breasts
[G]Saw Black Head against the [A]sky
Where [D]twisted rocks they run [Bm]to the [A]sea
When [G]living on your [D]Western [A]shore
Saw [D]summer sunsets, [Bm]asked for [A]more
[G]I stood by your At[D]lantic [A]Sea
And I [Em]sang a [G]song for I-[A]re-[D]land


[D]Drinking all the [A]day
In [Em]old pubs where [G]fiddlers [A]love to [D]play
[D]Saw one take the [A]bow
To [Em]play a reel that [G]seemed so [A]grand and [D]gay
I [G]stood on Dingle beach and [A]cast
In the [D]wild foam for the At[Bm]lantic [A]bass
When [G]living on your [D]Western [A]shore
Saw [D]summer sunsets, [Bm]asked for [A]more
[G]I stood by your At[D]lantic [A]Sea
And I [Em]sang a [G]song for I-[A]re-[D]land


[D]Talking all the [A]day
With [Em]true friends who [G]try to [A]make you [D]stay
[D]Telling jokes and [A]news
[Em]Singing songs to [G]while the [A]time a[D]way
[G]Watched the Galway salmon [A]run
Like [D]silver, dancing, darting [Bm]in the [A]sun
When [G]living on your [D]Western [A]shore
Saw [D]summer sunsets, [Bm]asked for [A]more
[G]I stood by your At[D]lantic [A]Sea
And I [Em]sang a [G]song for I-[A]re-[D]land


[D]Dreaming in the [A]night
I [Em]saw a land where [G]no-one [A]had to [D]fight
[D]Walking in your [A]dawn
I [Em]saw you crying [G]in the [A]morning [D]light
[G]Lying where the falcons [A]fly
They [D]twist and turn all in your [Bm]air blue [A]sky
When [G]living on your [D]Western [A]shore
Saw [D]summer sunsets, [Bm]asked for [A]more
[G]I stood by your At[D]lantic [A]Sea
And I [Em]sang a [G]song for I-[A]re-[D]land
