If [E] you ever go _ across the sea [B] to Ireland, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
be [F#m] it only at the [B] closing _ _ [E] of your day, _
_ _ _ _ _
you can sit _ [D] and watch the [C#] moon rise _ [F#] over Plada, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
and [F#m] see the sun [B] go down _ on [E] Galway Bay.
_ [A] _
_ [E] Just _ _ [B] _
to [E] see _ again the ripple _ of the [B] Trout _ Stream,
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] the women _ in [B] the meadows _ _ making [E] hay, _ _
_ _ _ _ _
or to sit _ [G#]
beside the [C#] tar fire _ _ [F#] in a tavern,
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] and watch the _ [B] barefoot gussels _ at their [E] play. _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [F] The breeze is _ blowing o'er the sea [C] from Ireland, _
_ _ _ _ _ _
our [Gm] _ perfumes by [C] the heather _ _ as [F] they blow, _
_ _ _ _ _
and the women _ [D#]
in [D] the _ uplands digging [G] _ _ _
pretties. _ _ _ _
Speak [Gm] a _ language that [C] the strangers do [F] not _ [A#] know,
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C]
oh [F] the strangers came _ and tried to teach [C] us their ways.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] They _ scorned us [C] for _ being what [F] we are,
[Am] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [F]
but they might [D#] as well [D] go chasing _ after [G] _ _ _
moonbeams, _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] or light a penny _ [C] candle _ _ from [F] the star.

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#m] and somehow _ I [C#] feel sure _ there's going [F#] to be, _
_ _ _ _ _
I will ask [E] my God [D#] to let me _ make [G#] my heaven, _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#m] in that dear land _ [C#] across the Irish [F#] _ Sea.
