Song For Ireland by Mary Black
CAPO 2nd Fret
VERSE 1:
C G
Walking all the day
F C F G C
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
G
Silver-winged they fly
Dm Am F G C
They know the call of freedom in their breasts
F Gsus G
Saw Black Head against the sky
C Am C F G
With twisted rocks they run down to the sea
CHORUS:
F G C Am C F G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
F G C G Dm Am F G C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land
VERSE 2:
C G
Talking all the day
F C F G C
With true friends who try to make you stay
G
Telling jokes and news
Dm Am F G C
Singing songs to pass the night away
F Gsus G
Watched the Galway salmon run
C Am C F G
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun
CHORUS:
F G C Am C F G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
F G C G Dm Am F G C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land
VERSE 3:
C G
Drinking all the day
F C F G C
In old pubs where fiddlers love to play
G
Someone touched the bow
Dm Am F G C
He played a reel which seemed so grand and gay
F Gsus G
Stood on Dingle Beach and cast
C Am C F G
In wild foam we found Atlantic bass
CHORUS:
F G C Am C F G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
F G C G Dm Am F G C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land
VERSE 4:
C G
Dreaming in the night
F C F G C
I saw a land where no one had to fight
G
Waking in your dawn
Dm Am F G C
I saw you crying in the morning light
F Gsus G
Lying where the falcons fly
C Am C F G
They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky
CHORUS:
F G C Am C F G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
F G C G Dm Am F G C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and I sang a song for I-re-land
