Ireland chords by Ghost Mice
Guitar chords with lyrics
Time for the final song! It also happens to be one of the most enjoyable ones to play because of how
much you have to switch chords. I'd imagine that this is a lot easier to do on my accordion than it must
be using an actual guitar, but you folks are good. You'll figure it out.

We got a ride right away and she took us to the dunes

And we fell asleep to the sounds of a carnival
Am G C
From a village further down the beach

We woke up the next morning on a bed of tiny flowers,
C G C
Packed the tent and went to get somethin' to eat

We'd set up our tent on the cliffs right by the sea
C Am F
Almost every night and the waves rocked us to sleep

A postman from Wales and his friend from England

Bought us fries at the westernmost pub
Am G C F
We sat with them and two others we'd met

When I said I didn't drink and hadn't tried Guinness yet
Am G C
They were the first ones to say, "way to go"

And as our ferry was leaving the Emerald Isle behind
Am F G
We were already making our plans to come back sometime
C F Am C
And don't ever let 'em tell you that it rains in Ireland
C F G C
Well if they tell you that you can be sure they've never been
C F Am C
'Cause the sun is always shinin' and the hills are always green
C F G C
And people are always smilin' and offerin' you drinks
