β« Intro:
G
β« 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
β« 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
β« 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
β« 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
β« 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
