A Song For Ireland
D Walking all the A day
By G tall D towers where G falcons A build their D nests
Silver winged they A fly,
They G know the D call of G freedom A in their D breasts,
G Saw Black Em Head a G gianst the A sky
With D twisted rocks that D run down G to the A sea
Chorus
G Living on your D Western shore,
Saw summer D sunsets, G asked for A more,
I G stood by your D Atlantic A Sea,
And G sang a D song for G Ir A e D land
D Drinking all the A day,
In G old D pubs where G fiddlers A love to D play,
Saw one take the A bow,
To G play a D reel that G was so A grand and D gay,
G stood on Em Dingle G Beach and A cast,
In D wild foam D I found At G lantic A bass
Chorus
G Living on your D Western shore,
Saw summer D sunsets, G asked for A more,
I G stood by your D Atlantic A Sea,
And G sang a D song for G Ir A e D land
D Laughing all the A day,
With G true D friends who G try to A make you D stay,
Telling jokes and A news,
And G singing D songs to G pass the A night a D way,
G Watched the Em Galway G salmon A run,
Like D silver dancing, D darting G in the A sun
Chorus
G Living on your D Western shore,
Saw summer D sunsets, G asked for A more,
I G stood by your D Atlantic A Sea,
And G sang a D song for G Ir A e D land
D Dreaming in the A night,
I G saw a D land where G no man A had to D fight,
Waking in your A dawn,
I G saw you D crying G in the A morning D light,
G Lying Em where the G falcons A fly,
They D twist and turn all D in your G air-blue A sky
Chorus
G Living on your D Western shore,
Saw summer D sunsets, G asked for A more,
I G stood by your D Atlantic A Sea,
And G sang a D song for G Ir A e D land
