Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D][A][D][G]
[D]Blue

[Verse 1]
Hills of Brefny
Blue
[G]Shining in the [D]sun
Scenes that I knew so long [A]ago[E][A]
[D]When in my boyhood
Bare[G]foot I would [D]run
Through the fields and the [A]woodlands
I would [D]go
Down by the river,
there's an [G]old swimming [D]hole
Where we laughed and played
the summer days [A]away
And [D]home in the evening,
with the [G]sun sinking low
[D]In the blue hills of Bre[A]fny, far awa[D]y
Far away, far [G]away
Blue [D]hills of Brefny, far [A]away
[E]Old [A]mem[D]ories burning,
[G]soon I'll be returning
To my [D]blue hills of [A]Brefny, far [D]away
Old Thatch Cottage,
[G]standing by the stream
[D]Winter nights of story and of son[A]g[E]
[A]And the [D]sound of the fiddle
that my [G]father used to play
[D]And the music echoed [A]as
we sang [D]along
Neighbours would gather
[G]round the altar fire
[D]And they talked about
the heroes of the [A]day
[D]Life was all for living in the [G]days
when we were [D]young
In the blue hills of [A]Brefny, far [D]away
Far away, far [G]away
[D]Blue hills of Brefny, far [A]away[E][A]
[D]Old memories burning,
[G]soon I'll be returning
To my [D]blue hills of [A]Brefny, far [D]away[A][D][Bb]
[Eb]I had a sweetheart,
[Ab]she was young and [Eb]fair
And she cared not that I had no
wealth or [Bb]fame[F][Bb]
[Eb]We'd go walking hand in hand
[Ab]along the leafy [Eb]lane
To the old oak tree
where [Bb]once I carved [Eb]her name
There we made our promises
that [Ab]we would never pa[Eb]rt
And our love would last forever and [Bb]a day
[F]But[Bb] I we[Eb]nt a -roving
and [Ab]left my love be[Eb]hind
In the blue hills of [Bb]Brefny far [Eb]away
Far away, far [Ab]away,
[Eb]Blue hills of Brefly, far [Bb]away.[F][Bb]
[Eb]Old memories burning,
[Ab]Soon I'll be returning
To my [Eb]blue hills [Bb]of Brefly, far aw[Eb]ay.
To my blue hills of [Bb]Brefly,
far [Eb]away. you
