;Song For Ireland

.D               A
 Walking all the day
.     Em                G       A           D
 Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
.D                  A
 Silver winged they fly
.     Em               G       A        D
 They know the call of freedom in their breasts
.G                          A
 Saw Black Head against the sky
.      D                      Bm     A
 Where twisted rocks they run to the sea
.     G              D       A
 When living on your Western shore
.    D               Bm        A
 Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
.G                 D      A
 I stood by your Atlantic Sea
.      Em     G          A  D
 And I sang a song for I-re-land
 
 
.D                A
 Drinking all the day
.   Em             G        A       D
 In old pubs where fiddlers love to play
.D                A
 Saw one take the bow
.   Em               G         A         D
 To play a reel that seemed so grand and gay
.  G                         A
 I stood on Dingle beach and cast
.       D                   Bm     A
 In the wild foam for the Atlantic bass
.     G              D       A
 When living on your Western shore
.    D               Bm        A
 Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
.G                 D      A
 I stood by your Atlantic Sea
.      Em     G          A  D
 And I sang a song for I-re-land
 
 
.D               A
 Talking all the day
.     Em               G      A        D
 With true friends who try to make you stay
.D                 A
 Telling jokes and news
.Em               G         A     D
 Singing songs to while the time away
.G                         A
 Watched the Galway salmon run
.     D                        Bm     A
 Like silver, dancing, darting in the sun
.     G              D       A
 When living on your Western shore
.    D               Bm        A
 Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
.G                 D      A
 I stood by your Atlantic Sea
.      Em     G          A  D
 And I sang a song for I-re-land
 
 
.D               A
 Dreaming in the night
.  Em               G      A      D
 I saw a land where no-one had to fight
.D               A
 Walking in your dawn
.  Em             G      A       D
 I saw you crying in the morning light
.G                       A
 Lying where the falcons fly
.     D                          Bm       A
 They twist and turn all in your air blue sky
.     G              D       A
 When living on your Western shore
.    D               Bm        A
 Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
.G                 D      A
 I stood by your Atlantic Sea
.      Em     G          A  D
 And I sang a song for I-re-land
