Isle of Innisfree
Dick Farelly
Key: G+G
Keywords: 1950, The Quiet Man

Verse 1:

       G+G            C majorC
I’ve met some folk who say that I'm a dreamer
  Am7Am7   D7D7                G+G
And I’ve no doubt there's truth in what they say
D MajorD  D11D11  G+G   G7G7    G7G7+ C majorC
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
   A7A7   D7D7            G+G C majorC
When all the things he loves are far away

Verse 2:

G+G  D11D11   G+G             C majorC
And precious things are dreams unto an exile
   Am7Am7   D7D7            G+G
They take him o’er the land across the sea
D MajorD D11D11   G+G    G7G7   G7G7+  C majorC
Es-pecially when it happens he's an exile
   A7A7    D7D7         G+G
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree

Chorus 1:

  Am7Am7 B minorBm C majorC             G+G
And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops
       A7A7           D7D7
Of this great city, wondrous tho' it be
 D11D11   G+G    G7G7   G7G7+ C majorC
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
  A7A7   D7D7           G+G  C majorC
I'm once a-gain back home in Innis-free

Verse 3:

G+G D11D11  G+G                C majorC
I wander o’er green hills through dreamy valleys
  Am7Am7  D7D7            G+G
And find a peace no other land could know
D MajorD D11D11   G+G     G7G7  G7G7+  C majorC
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
  A7A7    D7D7           G+G  C majorC
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow

Verse 4:

G+G  D MajorD    G+G          C majorC
And then in-to a humble shack I wan-der,
  Am7Am7   D7D7          G+G
My dear old home, and tenderly be-hold.
D MajorD  D11D11   G+G   G7G7    G7G7+   C majorC
The folks I love a-round the turf fire gathered,
  A7A7   D7D7          G+G  C majorC
On bended knees their rosary is told

Chorus 2:

G+G  Am7Am7  B minorBm  C majorC                G+G
But dreams don't last, though dreams are not for-gotten
       A7A7          D7D7
And soon I'm back to stern realit-y
  D11D11     G+G     G7G7    G7G7+   C majorC
But though they paved the footways here with gold dust
 A7A7     D7D7           G+G  C majorC G+G
I still would choose my Isle of Innis-free
