Intro: G Em C D G
G Em C D G
As I stand above the starboard bow and watch the ocean foam
G Em C D G
As I view each new horizon I grow further from my home
G Em G Em
I'm sailing on a foreign ship, that's bound for Montreal
G Em C D G
But I'd give the world to make my destination Donegal
G Em C D G
I would make my way from Malin to Bundoran through Raphoe
G Em C D G
Or Portsalon down to Killybegs by Creeslough and Dungloe
G Em G Em
I'd wander around by Barnesmore Gap to everyone I'd call
G Em C D G
And beyond the Bluestack mountains to the town of Donegal
G Em C D G
Oh Donegal I miss you and I'll never understand
G Em C D G
Why I left you for those far off lands, against my hearts command
G Em G Em
Whatever fortune comes my way, whatever may befall
G Em C D G
I know I'll make my final destination Donegal
