[D]
[Am]
When the cuckoo [G] is calling [C] over [E] woodland and valley
[Em]
[Am] And the churn of [G] the swan o [C]'erflies over [G] our bay
[Am] Then it's longing [G] I'll be [C] for the land of [Em] my father
[F] Where burnt and [C] black waters [Gm] sweep down to [A] Loch [Am] Ness
A home I [Gm] have made [C] in the land of the [Em] stranger
[A] And it's many years, [G] long [C] years since I've left Derry [G]
Cave
[Am] Still I dream of [Gm] the blue man [C] and the glens of old [Em]
Ireland
[F] Where burnt and [C] black [Gm] waters sweep down to [Am] Loch Ness
And it's tonight [G] must start [C] and this [D] is my [Em] last journey
For [A] my [D] eyes they [G] broked in [C] my hair [G] sparse and grey
And [Am] it's soon [D] I [G] must follow [C] the turn on the [Em] swallow
[F] Where burnt and [C] black waters [G] sweep down to [A] Loch Ness
[Am] I [Em] long for to [G] see the [C] dark waters of [Em] Loch Ness
And [A] I long for to [G]
gaze on [C] sleep-guarded [G] young grey
[C] [G] And [Am] I long for [G] to follow [C] the turn on [Em] the swallow
[C] Where [F] burnt [C]
and black waters [G] sweep down to [Am] Loch Ness
[G] [C]
[Em]
[F] [C]
[Gm] [Am]
[Dm] And when I return [C] [F] to my native [G] land
In [Am] the spring I will [G]
hear the [Em] cuckoo sing one [F] Loch Ness
[Dm] And I'll be out there waiting [C] [F] for the turn on the [G] swallow
[F] Where burnt [C] and black waters [G] sweep down to [Am] Loch Ness
And all I ask is [G] a care [C] in the land [G] of [Em] my father
[F] Where burnt and [C] black waters [G] sweep down [A] to Loch Ness
