Song For Ireland chords
Luke Kelly (Phil & June Colclough)

Capo II

D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

D MajorD        A augmentedA
Walking all the day,
  G+G  D MajorD      A augmentedA          D MajorD
by tall towers where falcons build their nests
D MajorD          A augmentedA
In silver wings they fly,
   G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA        D MajorD
they know the call of freedom in their breasts
G+G             D MajorD
Saw Black Head against the sky,
   B minorBm   G+G     D MajorD        A augmentedA
where twisted rocks may run down to the sea

G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA
Living on your Western shore,
  D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm    A augmentedA
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
 G+G        D MajorD   A augmentedA
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
   G+G   D MajorD    A augmentedA D MajorD
and I sang a song for Ireland

D MajorD        A augmentedA
Drinking all the day,
  G+G  D MajorD     A augmentedA        D MajorD
in old pubs where fiddlers love to play
D MajorD         A augmentedA
Saw one touch the bow,
  G+G    D MajorD     A augmentedA          D MajorD
he played a reel which seemed so grand and gay
 G+G             D MajorD
I stood on Dingle Beach and cast,
  B minorBm  G+G    D MajorD       A augmentedA
in wild foam we found Atlantic bass,

G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA
Living on your Western shore,
  D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm    A augmentedA
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
 G+G        D MajorD   A augmentedA
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
   G+G   D MajorD    A augmentedA D MajorD
and I sang a song for Ireland

D MajorD        A augmentedA
Laughing all the day,
   G+G  D MajorD      A augmentedA        D MajorD
with true friends who try to make you stay
D MajorD         A augmentedA
Telling jokes and news,
  G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA        D MajorD
and singing songs to while the time away,
  G+G             D MajorD
We watched the Galway salmon run,
   B minorBm   G+G    D MajorD       A augmentedA
like silver dancing, darting in the sun

G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA
Living on your Western shore,
  D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm    A augmentedA
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
 G+G        D MajorD   A augmentedA
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
   G+G   D MajorD    A augmentedA D MajorD
and I sang a song for Ireland

D MajorD        A augmentedA
Dreaming in the night,
 G+G   D MajorD     A augmentedA       D MajorD
I saw a land where no one had to fight
  D MajorD       A augmentedA
And waking in your dawn,
 G+G    D MajorD   A augmentedA       D MajorD
I saw you crying in the morning light
G+G             D MajorD
Sleeping where the falcons fly,
   B minorBm    G+G        D MajorD    A augmentedA
they twist and turn all in your air-blue sky

G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA
Living on your Western shore,
  D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm    A augmentedA
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
 G+G        D MajorD   A augmentedA
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
   G+G   D MajorD    A augmentedA D MajorD
and I sang a song for Ireland
