VERSE 1

C majorC   G+G      A minorAm     G+G   FF   G+G     C majorC
On the quiet banks of the Liffey and lakes, Dublin wrote her name.

C majorC       G+G       A minorAm       G+G       FF
On the broad backs of men, we never met with their pens and their stones,

G+G    C majorC
they did the same,

C majorC   G+G       A minorAm      G+G      FF
In the hours passed in the pubs, all the glasses were full and they were

G+G     C majorC
wet to the sleeve.

C majorC      G+G      A minorAm     G+G    FF     G+G   C majorC
And the eyes were so clear on the girl I met there,I swore I?d never leave.

CHORUS

FF               G+G
And the young men who longed for these shores in a song,

C majorC   C/BC/B  A minorAm
All they wanted was a home,

FF           G+G            C majorC   C/BC/B A minorAm
And I wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the light of dawn,

FF       G+G             C majorC
Patiently, she waits there for me to come home.

VERSE 2

C majorC      G+G   A minorAm       G+G       FF      G+G
Was a bleary-eyed night, drunk from the lights and the sounds of a city

C majorC
awake,

C majorC      G+G     A minorAm    G+G        FF       G+G
And she stood in the crowd, her face as a shroud, leaving nothing for my eye

C majorC
to take.

C majorC       G+G     A minorAm       G+G     FF
But a warmth was so clear, it betrayed her as nearly she glowed like those

G+G       C majorC
lights on the bridge,

C majorC     G+G       A minorAm      G+G       FF      G+G
And a pain in my side, as I was drawn to her pride like the rise of the wind

C majorC
to the ridge.

CHORUS

FF               G+G
And the young men who longed for these shores in a song,

C majorC   C/BC/B  A minorAm
All they wanted was a home,

FF           G+G            C majorC   C/BC/B A minorAm
And I wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the light of dawn,

FF       G+G             C majorC
Patiently, she waits there for me to come home.

VERSE 3 (stum full chords)

C majorC        G+G     A minorAm      G+G       FF
These waters have run red, these beaches have bled from the wounds at the

G+G       C majorC
dark heart of man,

C majorC        G+G          A minorAm      G+G     FF
Daughters grown sharp, tongues like knives to the heart or a charm for the

G+G      C majorC
curse of the land,

C majorC        G+G     A minorAm        G+G       FF
With prayers in their eyes, how well they've disguised that it's love

G+G   C majorC
they're giving away.

C majorC    G+G         A minorAm       G+G     FF     G+G
But you might believe when your hard heart says leave but this one implores

C majorC
you to stay.

CHORUS

FF               G+G
And the young men who longed for these girls with our songs,

C majorC   C/BC/B  A minorAm
All we wanted was a home.

FF           G+G               C majorC   C/BC/B   A minorAm
She wants one too with someone heart as true as this prison made of stone,

FF       G+G             C majorC
Patiently, she waits there for me to come home,

FF      G+G           C majorC
Patiently, I wait to be free and be home.

Thanks guys :) x
