[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
They say that the [G]lakes
of Kil[D]larney are fair
No stream like the Liffey
could ever compare
If it's [G]water you want you'll
get nothing more rare
Than the [D]stuff they make
down by [G]the ocean

[Verse 2]
The sea, oh [G]the sea,
oh a gradh geal mo [D]chroide
Long may it stay between
England and me
[G]It's a sure guarantee that some
hour we'll be free
Thank [D]God we're surrounded by [G]water

[Verse 3]
Tom Moore made his [G]waters
[D]by fame and renown
A great lover of anything dressed in a crown
In [G]brandy the bandy old Saxon
he'd drown
But throw [D]ne'er a one
in [G]the ocean

[Verse 4]
The sea, oh the [G]sea,
oh a gradh geal mo chroide
[D]Long may it stay between
England and me
It's a [G]sure guarantee that some
hour we'll be free
Thank [D]God we're surrounded
by [G]wa ter

[Verse 5]
[G]The Scots have their whiskey,
[D]the Welsh have their speech
Their poets are paid about
ten pence a week
[G]Provided no hard word on
England they speak
[D]Oh Lord what a price for devo[G]tion

[Verse 6]
The [G]sea, oh the sea,
oh a gradh geal mo [D]chroide
Long may it stay between
England and me
[G]It's a sure guarantee that some
hour we'll be free
Thank God [D]we're surrounded
by [G]water

[Verse 7]
[G]The Danes came to Ireland
with [D]nothing to do
But dream of the plundered
old Irish they slew
'Well you [G]will in your
Vikings' said Brain Boru
Then he [D]threw them back
into the [G]ocean

[Verse 8]
[G]The sea, oh the sea,
oh a gradh geal mo chroid[D]e
Long may it stay between
England and me
It's a [G]sure guarantee that some
hour we'll be free
Thank [D]God we're surrounded by [G]wa ter

[Verse 9]
Two [G]foreign old monarchs
in [D]battle did join
Each wanting his head
on the back of a coin
If the [G]Irish had sense they'd
drown both in the Boyne
And Par[D]tition throw into
[G]the ocean

[Verse 10]
[G]The sea, oh the sea,
oh a gradh geal mo [D]chroide
Long may it stay between England and me
It's [G]a sure guarantee that some
hour we'll be free
Thank [D]God we're [G]sur[D]
[F]roun[F]ded by water
