[A] [D]
While sitting in my bed, so cold [G] in London, [D] Some thoughts of my mother came [A] to me.
[D] What's what she said, the morning I [G] was leaving, [D] To travel far [A] across the deep [D] blue sea.
She said, come back Paddy soon, to get [G] to Ireland, [D] Come back Paddy soon, to get [E] to thee.
[A]
For [D] I know that the ruffians, they do [G] look greener, And [D] old Ireland's [A] the place I'd rather [D] be.
It's twenty years gone now since [G] that morning, [D] I don't wish my mother [A] I'd see.
[D] But she's gone and I'm still here [G] in London, And [D] old Ireland [A] again I'll never [D] see.
She said, come back Paddy soon, again [G] to Ireland, [D] Come back Paddy soon, again [E] to me.
[A]
For [D] I know that the ruffians, they do [G] look greener, And [D] old Ireland [A] again I'll never [D] see.

[D] [A]
[D] [E] And now I'm back home in dear [A] old Ireland, [E] So sad my dear old mother's passed [B] away.
[F#] But I [E] was young and far off years, they did [A] look greener, And [E] old Ireland [B] again I'll never [E] stray.
[A] She said, come back Paddy soon, again [A] to Ireland, [E] Come back Paddy soon, again to [F#] me.
[B] For [E] I know that the ruffians, they do [A] look greener, And [E] old Ireland's [B] the place I'd rather [E]
be.
Yes dear old Ireland's [B] the place I'd rather [E]
be.
