Capo 1
[Intro]
D
D A
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
A D
then maybe at the closing of your day,
D G
you can sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh,
A D
and see the sun go down on Galway Bay.
D A
Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,
A D
The women in the meadow making hay,
D G
just to sit beside the turf fire in a cabin,
A D
and watch the barefoot gosoons as they play
G D Em D G D A
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh oooh
D
For the breezes blowing o'er the sea's from
A
Ireland,
A D
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow,
D G
And the women in the uplands digging praties
Em A
Speak a language that the strangers do not know.
G
Yet the strangers came and tried to teach u
D
s their ways,
C
And they scorned us just for being what we
Em
are,
F
But they might as well go chasin after moon
Am
beams,
Bb Em A
or light a penny candle from a star.
D A
And if there's gonna be a life here after,
A D
And somehow I'm sure there's gonna be,
D G
I will ask my God to let me make my Heaven,
A D
In that dear land across the Irish sea.
D G
I will ask my God to let me make my Heaven,
A D
In my dear land across the Irish sea.
