Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A]
[Asus4][A][Am][A]
[D][G][D][G]
[D]If you ever go across [G]the sea [D]to

[Verse 1]
Ireland,
Then maybe [A]at the clos[G]ing of [D]your day,
[G]You can sit and[D] watch the moon
rise over Clad[G]dagh,
And [A]see the sun go [D]down
on [G]Gal[D]way [G]Bay.
[D]Just to

[Verse 2]
hear again the ripple of
the trout [A]stream,
The women in the meadow
mak[D]ing hay,
Just to sit beside the turf fire in a [G]cabin,
And watch the barefoot [Asus4]gosoons as
they [D]play.[G]
[D][Em][C][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Oo [D]h[Asus4]
[A]For[Asus4] the bree[D]zes blowing
o'er the sea's from Ire[Asus4]land,
[A]Are perfumed by the heather as they blo[D]w,
And the women in the uplands digging [G]praties,
[A][Em]
[G]Speak a language that the strangers
do [Asus4]not know.[A]

[Verse 4]
[G]Yet the strangers came and tried
to teach us [D]their ways,
And they [Em]scorned [C]us just
for being what we [Em]are,
But [F]they might as well go chasin'
after moon [Am]beams,
[Bb]Or light a penny candle
from a [Dm]star.[Asus4]
[D]And if there's gonna be a life here [A]after,

[Verse 5]
And faith somehow I'm sure
there's gonna [D]be,
I will ask my God to let me
make my [G]Heaven,
[A]In that dear land across [D]the [G]Ir ish sea.
[D]I will

[Verse 6]
ask my God to let me
make [G]my Heaven,
In [Asus4]my dear l[A]and across the Irish
[G]sea.[D][Em][C][D]
[G]Oo [D]h
[A]In [A]my [D]dear land across the Irish sea.
