Intro (Capo at II): (D, G, A, D)
D
The candlelight is fading
G
As I gently kneel and say
A
An Ave for my mother
D
As her spirit slips away
A way to join my father
G
And to share eternity
A
We call them kindred spirits
D
Now they will forever be
D
So now they're reunited
G
Smiling down from up above
A
As fondly we remember
D
The old house they filled with love
How even through the hard times
G
They were close as close could be
A
Just like the kindred spirits
D
They will forever be
E
Their love was as deep as the ocean
A
Flying higher than eagles would dare
B
As strong as the mountains in Donegal
E
As soft as a morning in Clare
D
I can see her in the kitchen
G
I can smell the baking bread
A
I can hear my father singing
D
As he tucked us in to bed
They shared the load together
G
They were proud as proud could be
A
And now those kindred spirits
D
Will share eternity
