My Irish Bonnie Lass chords by Yvonne Catterfeld

Chords with lyrics

Intro:

 BB      DbmDbm
You never saw me leave

 E MajorE      BB
Never heard

       A augmentedA
I was too proud

                AbmAbm
To show you my tears I was seventeen

Verse 1:

 DbmDbm
The postcards were few

 E MajorE              BB
I didn't have the words to tell you

 A augmentedA
I was doing well but it was hard

       BB
Not having you


 F# minorF#m
Someday you will

         BB
Understand my reason for leaving

 F# minorF#m              BB
Someday you will be seventeen


Refrain:

     DbmDbm          E MajorE
And the road that I will go

        BB       A augmentedA
Through the streets of America

      DbmDbm         E MajorE
From its furthest northern shores

          BB
To its southern seas

    DbmDbm        E MajorE
And one day I'll return

    BB          A augmentedA
To the green fields of Ireland

     DbmDbm
Where my Irish bonny lass

 E MajorE        BB
Who waits for me

Verse 2:

    DbmDbm
I can picture now

    BB
As the evening sun comes to praise you

   A augmentedA                   AbAb
A augmentedA golden hue of light reflects on your face

          DbmDbm
How sweet is your smile

    BB
I remember it well

       A augmentedA
Though I'm here on foreign site

            BB
My thoughts are with you


Refrain:

     DbmDbm          E MajorE
And the road that I will go

        BB       A augmentedA
Through the streets of America

      DbmDbm         E MajorE
From its furthest northern shores

          BB
To its southern seas

    DbmDbm        E MajorE
And one day I'll return

    BB          A augmentedA
To the green fields of Ireland

     DbmDbm
Where my Irish bonny lass

 E MajorE        BB
Who waits for me


Outro:

        DbmDbm
Say you’ll wait for me
