[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Walking all [G]the day
near [F]tall tow[C]ers
where [F]falcons [G]build their [C]nests[G]
[C]Silver winged [G]they fly,
they [Dm]know the [C]call
of [F]freedom [G]in their [C]breasts[G]

[Pre-chorus 1]
[F]Saw Black Head against the [G]sky
With [C]twisted [Am]rocks
that [C]run down [F]to the [G]sea

[Chorus 1]
[F]Living [G]on your [C]western shore,
[Am]saw summer s[C]unsets, [F]asked [G]for more
[F]I stood by y[G]our Atl[C]antic s[G]ea
and [Dm]sang a [Am]song for [F]Ire[G] land
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Talking all [G]the day
[F]with true [C]friends,
who [F]try to [G]make you [C]stay[G]
[C]Telling jokes [G]and news,
[Dm]singing [C]songs
to [F]pass the [G]night [C]away[G]

[Pre-chorus 2]
[F]Watched the Galway salmon [G]run
[C]like silver [Am]dancing
[C]darting [F]in the [G]sun

[Chorus 2]
[F]Living [G]on your [C]western shore
[Am]saw summer s[C]unsets, [D]asked [G]for more
[F]I stood by y[G]our Atl[C]antic s[G]ea
and [Dm]sang a [Am]song for [F]Ire[G] land
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Drinking all [G]the day
[Dm]in old p[C]ubs
where [F]fiddlers [G]love to [C]play[G]
[C]Someone touched [G]the bow,
[Dm]he played a re[C]el,
it [F]seemed so [G]grand and [C]gay[G]

[Pre-chorus 3]
[F]Stood on Dingle beach and [G]cast,
[C]in wild [Am]foam
we [C]found At[F]lantic [G]Bass

[Chorus 3]
[F]Living [G]on your [C]western shore,
[Am]saw summer s[C]unsets a[D]sked f[G]or more
[F]I stood by y[G]our Atl[C]antic s[G]ea
and [Dm]sang a [Am]song for [F]Ire[G] land
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]Dreaming in the nig[G]ht,
[Dm]I saw a la[C]nd
where [F]no man [G]had to [C]fight[G]
[C]Waking in [G]your dawn,
[Dm]I saw you cr[C]ying
[F]in the [G]morning [C]light[G]

[Pre-chorus 4]
[F]Lying where the Fal[G]cons fly,
[C]they twist and [Am]turn
all [C]in your [F]e'er blue [G]sky

[Chorus 4]
[F]Living [G]on your [C]western shore,
[Am]saw summer s[C]unsets a[D]sked f[G]or more
[F]I stood by y[G]our Atl[C]antic s[G]ea
and [Dm]I sang a son[Am]g for Ir[F]e la[G]nd
[Am][D]
[G][C]
