[Dm] [A]
There's [D] a tear in your eye, and I'm wondering why,
[Bm] For it never [E] should be [D] there at [A] all.
With [G] such power in your [A]
smile, [D] should a stone ye [B] beguile,
So [Gbm] there's never [E] a teardrop should [Bm] fall.
[A] [D] When your sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy [Gb] song,
[Bm] And your eyes [D] twinkle bright as [G] can be, You must laugh all the [Ab] while, and all [Gbm] other
times [B]
smile, And [Bm] now [Gbm] smile, a [E]
smile [A] for [G] me.
[A] [D] When [Gm] Irish eyes are [D] smiling, [Gbm]
short [G] as like [E] a [D] morning spring,
In [G] the [F] lilt of [D] Irish laughter, [B] you can [E] hear the angels [Em]
[A] sing.
[D] When Irish [Gm] hearts are [D] happy, all [G] the world seems [D] bright and gay,
But [G] when [Ab] Irish eyes are
[B] smiling, sure they [E] steal [A] your heart [D] away.
[G] [E] [D]
[B] [E] [A]
[D] For your smile is a part of the love in your heart,
And [Bm] it makes [E] even sunshine [D] more bright.
[Eb] Like the [Em]
lidded [A] sweet song, crooning [D] all [Bm] the day long,
Comes your laughter so [E]
tender [G] and light.
[A]
For the [D] springtime of life is the sweetest of all,
[Bm] And there's ne'er a [D] real care nor [G] regret.
And while springtime [Ab] is ours, [Gbm] throughout all of youth's hours,
[Bm] Let us smile [E] every chance that [G] we get.
[A] [D]
When [Gm] Irish eyes [D] are smiling, [Gbm]
short [G] as like [E] a [D] morning spring,
In [G] the lilt [D] of Irish laughter, [B] you [E] can hear the angels [Em] [A] sing.
[D] When Irish [Gm] hearts [D] are happy, [G] all the world [Ab] seems bright [D] and gay,
But [G] when [Ab] Irish [D] eyes are [B] smiling, sure [E] they steal your [A] heart [D] away.
[Bb] [Eb] When [Abm] Irish eyes [Eb] are smiling, short [Ab] as like [F] a morning [Eb] spring,
In [Ab] the lilt [Ebm] of [Eb] Irish laughter, [C] [Fm] you can hear [F]
the angels [C] sing.
[Eb]
When [Abm] Irish hearts [Eb] are happy, [Ab] all the world [A] seems bright and [Eb] gay,
[Ab] But when [F] Irish eyes are [Eb] [Bb]
[E] smiling, [C]
[F] sure they steal [Bb] your heart away.
