Eb                         Eb/G
A sea maid sings on yonder reef
                Fm
The spell-bound seals draw near

A lilt that lures beyond belief

Mortals enchanted hear

Coir an oir an oir an eer o
Bb7                       Eb

Coir an oir an oir an ee lalyuran

Coir an oir an eer o

Eb                                 Eb/G
The wandering ploughman halts his plough
               Fm
The maid her milking stays
           Eb               Ab
Sheep on hillside, bird on bough
           Bb7        Eb
Pause and listen in amaze

Coir an oir an eer o



🎸 Verse 3:
Eb                          Eb/G
Was it a dream? Were all asleep?
             Fm
Or did she cease her strain?
Eb                 Ab    Bb7
The seals with a splash dive into the deep
Cm             Ab        Bb7          Eb
The world goes on, yet lingers the refrain

Coir an oir an oir an eer o

Coir an oir an oir an ee lalyuran
Ddim7          Bb7  Eb
Coir an oir an eer o
