Verse 1:
  A        D      E    A
Tara's on my mind, getting worse as time goes by,
  Bm     C#m        E        Bm
I've got to make the time to see it once before I die,
    A          D        E        A
The slow train has no bar on board, but that won’t make me cry,
 Bm         C#m    E     Bm   E
For thinkin' of you Tara, Lord I'm drunk enough to fly.

Chorus:
  A      D     Bm   E
If you were a lass, you'd be my bride
   Bm          A
And our love would be a treasure,
      E       Bm    E
Ever would we fly, beneath an Irish sky.
 A     D       Bm    E
If you were a dream, I'd stay asleep,
   Bm          A
And if dreams were made to measure,
         E       Bm
I'd be dreaming still, and I’d drink my fill,
 E      A
Tonight on Tara Hill.

  A       D      E            A
And men have died around you, for Kings and Queens and peers
   Bm         C#m       E           Bm
But they left you as they found you, tho' your talked to them the same
  A       D      E     A
Songs of love and bravery, songs of yesteryear,
   Bm        C#m       E      Bm  E
But the songs about your beauty are the songs I'd love to hear.


Chorus:
  A      D     Bm   E
If you were a lass, you'd be my bride
   Bm          A
And our love would be a treasure,
      E       Bm    E
Ever would we fly, beneath an Irish sky.
 A     D       Bm    E
If you were a dream, I'd stay asleep,
   Bm          A
And if dreams were made to measure,
         E       Bm
I'd be dreaming still, and I’d drink my fill,
 E      A
Tonight on Tara Hill.
