[E]
Have [Am] you ever heard [E] the story of [Am] how Ireland got its [E] name?
[Am] I'll tell you so you'll understand from [A] whence old Ireland [F] came.
No wonder that we're [E] proud of that dear [Am] land [E] across the sea.
[F] For here's the [A] way me dear [Dm] old [A] mother told the tale [F] to me.
Sure a little bit of heaven fell [Bbm] from out [Am] the [F] sky one day
[C] And nestled in the [G] ocean [F] in a spot so far away.
[D] And when the angels found it, [Bb] sure it looked so sweet [G] and fair
[E] They said, suppose we leave it [Am] for it looked [Dm] so [F] peaceful there.
So they sprinkled it with star [A] dust just [Bb] to make [Am] the [G] shamrocks grow.
[C] It's the only place you'll find them [F] no matter where you go.
Then they dotted it with silver [Bb] to make its lake so grand.
[Db] [F] And when they had it finished, [Dm]
[Db] sure they [F] [Dm] called it [G] [C] [F] Ireland.
[E] [Am]
[E]
[A] It's a dear old [E] land of fairies [Am] and of wondrous wishing well.
[E]
[F] And nowhere else on God's green earth have they such lakes and dells.
No wonder that the [E] angels loved [A] its shamrock [E]-bordered shore.
[F] It is a little bit of heaven [Dm] and [A] I love [Dm] it more [F] and more.
Sure a little bit of [A] heaven fell from [Bb] [F] out the sky [G]
one day
[C] And nestled in the ocean [G] [F] in a spot so far away.
And [D] when the angels found it, [Bb] sure it looked so [D] sweet [Gm] and fair
[E] They said, suppose we leave it for [Am] it looked [Dm] so [F] peaceful there.
So they sprinkled it with star [A] dust just [Bb] to [Am] make the [G] shamrocks grow.
[C] It's the only place you'll find them [F] no matter where you go.
Then they dotted it with silver [Gm] to make its lake [Bbm] so grand.
[Db]
And [F] when they had [G] it finished, [Dm] [Bbm] sure [F] they called
[Dm] [G] it [C]
[F] Ireland.
