• Capo on 3rd
• Difficulty: Intermediate

♫ Intro:

G


♫ Verse 1:

G
I whimper when I see a meadow

To think of all that I could be
C              Am7
Oh, I'll grab my skirts nd I'll run with the wind
D
I am friends with femininity

G
I run my hands through blazing fire

My freckles splattered on pearly skin
C                      Am7
I am swimming naked in pools of starlight
D
How I miss the days of my soulful kin


♫ Chorus:

D
I watch the days pass
C           G
And my heart aches on
D
To think of all I'm missing
C           G
And the things I haven't done
Em
I'll hold on until my lungs give out
Bm7       B7       D
And I can breathe again
Am           C           D      G
In the sweet, sweet air of Ireland


♫ Verse 2:

G
I hear the call from fields of heather
My name is whispered on the wind
C          Am7
And it promises that we will be together
D                                               G
Oh, the Cliffs of Moher are my oldest friends
G
I feel the faerie drums and fiddles
Light a match within my soul
C                               Am7
Oh, I see the magic around me in ripples
D                                          G
As it lights the path that will guide me home


♫ Chorus:

D
I watch the days pass
C           G
And my heart aches on
D
To think of all I'm missing
C           G
And the things I haven't done
Em
I'll hold on until my lungs give out
Bm7        B7       D
And I can breathe again
Am           C           D      G
In the sweet, sweet air of Ireland


♫ Bridge:

G
I feel my ancestors around me
Pull me close and hold me tight
C                                       Am7
And it makes me feel just a little less lonely
       C                    D         G
When I walk the glen in my dreams at night
