Come Back Paddy Reilly To Bally James Duff Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][E][A][D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]Garden of
Eden has [G]vanished they [D]say
But [Bm]I know the[A] lie of it sti[D]ll
[A]Just [D]turn to the left [G]at the bridge
[D]of Finea
[E]And stop when [A]halfway [D]to Cootehill.

[Verse 2]
It's [G]there you'll find it
[Abdim]I know sure[D] enough[Bm]
For [A]fortune has [E]come to my [A]call
[D]The grass it is green around
[G]Bal[D]lyjamesduff
And the [E]blue sky is [A]over it [D]all.

[Verse 3]
[G]And tones that are tender
[Abdim]and tones tha[D]t are [Bm]ruff
Come [A]whispering [E]over
[Esus4]the sea[E][A]
Come [D]back,
Paddy Reilly [G]to [D]Ballyjamesduff
Come [E]home, [A]Paddy Reilly, [D]to me.

[Verse 4]
My [D]mother once told me
[G]that when I was [D]born
The [Bm]day that I[A] first saw the l[D]ight
[A]I l[D]ooked down the street
on that [G]very [D]first morn
And [E]gave a [A]crow of de[D]light.

[Verse 5]
Now [G]most newborn babies
[Abdim]appear in[D] a puff[Bm]
And [A]start [E]with a sorrowful [A]squall
But I [D]knew I was born [G]in [D]Ballyjamesduff
And [E]that's why I [A]smiled at them [D]all.

[Verse 6]
The [G]baby's a man now,
[Abdim]he's toil- wor[D]n and tough[Bm]
Still, [A]whispers come [E]over
[Esus4]the sea[E][A]
Come [D]back, Paddy [G]Reilly
[Abdim]to Ballyj[D]ame[Bm]sduff
Come [E]home, [A]Paddy Reilly, to [D]me.

[Verse 7]
Come [Bm]home, Paddy [A]Reilly, [G]to me...
