A tragic song of Irish emigration. Best played without capo. |
Oh my Dm name hasn't C mattered for F manys a G7 day
I was Am born on the Em west coast of F Clare G
By the Am time I was Em married and F had my own C land
There were Dm many who G7 envied me G there
Our Dm home was con C tented, the F years quickly G7 passed
We had Am four lads to Em carry our F name G
Then one Am year the crops Em failed and the F hunger set C in
I was Dm certain that G7 I was to G blame
Chorus
And F oft times I think about C Doolin
And our F cottage a lifetime a Em way
Though I'm F chained here and G bound, my F heart can't be C found
In this Dm prison on G7 Fremantle G Bay
There was Dm manys an C evening I F stood by the G7 door
I looked Am out where my Em crops used to F be G
But the Am pain deep in Em side as I F looked in the C eyes
Of our Dm children, it G7 drove me to G steal
It was Dm raining the C night when the F sheriff's men G7 came
And the Am judge gave his Em verdict next F day G
For the Am lamb that you've Em stolen you'll F have to be C sent
To a Dm colony G7 where you will G stay
Chorus
And F oft times I think about C Doolin
And our F cottage a lifetime a Em way
Though I'm F chained here and G bound, my F heart can't be C found
In this Dm prison on G7 Fremantle G Bay
Oh the Dm sun it beats C down from a F merciless G7 sky
And the Am rocks they eat Em into our F feet G
Oh the Am work's very Em hard but there's F never a C break
For Dm unfortunate G7 men such as G me
My Dm crime costs a C shilling and F sixpence to G7 mend
But it Am took me a Em way cross the F sea G
And Am now I must Em spend out the F rest of my C days
In this Dm land that means G7 nothing to G me
Chorus (twice)
And F oft times I think about C Doolin
And our F cottage a lifetime a Em way
Though I'm F chained here and G bound, my F heart can't be C found
In this Dm prison on G7 Fremantle G Bay
