I [A] stood by your [E] Atlantic [B] sea and I [A] sang [E] a song [B] for [E] Ireland.
Drinking all [B] the day in [A] old pubs [B] where fiddlers love [E] to play.
Saw one touch [B] the bow, [A] he played a reel [E] which [B] seemed so grand [E] and gay.
[A] Stood on Dingle Beach and [E] cast [C#m] in wild foam [A] we found [C#m] [B] Atlantic bass.

Telling jokes [B] and news, [A] singing songs [B] to while the [E] time away.
[A] Watched the Galway [E] salmon run [B] like [C#m] silver [E] dancing, [A]
[C#m] darting in [B] the sun.

Waking in [B] your dawn, [A] I saw you crying [B] in the morning [E] light.
[A] Sleeping where the falcons [E] fly, [B] [C#m] they twist and turn [A] all in [C#m] your air [B] blue sky.
