Intro:
C majorC   G+G   E minorEm
C majorC   G+G   E minorEm

Verse:
C majorC   G+G   E minorEm
Once upon a time
C majorC   G+G   E minorEm
A augmentedA Dublin girl ran free
     C majorC   G+G
Down the cobblestones
    D MajorD    A minorAm
Round pubs and homes
  C majorC    G+G    E minorEm
As rich as she could be
     C majorC   G+G    E minorEm
Swimming in the Irish Sea
C majorC    G+G     E minorEm
Climbing up Bray Head
   C majorC     G+G
Her lips were warmed
   D MajorD   A minorAm
With pots of tea
C majorC     G+G    E minorEm
Chips and buttered bread
   C majorC   (Fill 1)  G+G
Fed love from Mam and Da

Chorus:
   D MajorD
They raised her up
   E minorEm
They made her fly
   C majorC          D MajorD
They gave her roots and wings
   D MajorD
As time moves on
   E minorEm
And years go by
   C majorC          D MajorD
She'll miss those simple things
      C majorC (Fill 1) G+G
She's the girl I used to be

Verse:
   C majorC     G+G    E minorEm
The playgrounds all came down
    C majorC     G+G   E minorEm
And we mourned our factories
C majorC     G+G       D MajorD   A minorAm
Times were tough, but I had enough
 C majorC   G+G   E minorEm
I had my family
      C majorC    G+G   E minorEm
Life kicked in with all its might
      C majorC    G+G   E minorEm
But my strong heart wouldn't break
     C majorC   G+G    D MajorD   A minorAm
I got kicked around and broken down
    C majorC  (Fill 1)  G+G
I took all that I could take

Chorus:
    D MajorD
But you raise me up
   E minorEm
You made me fly

You gave me roots and wings

As time moves on

Verse:

Now I'm grown with a child of my own
   C majorC    G+G   E minorEm
And I hope to God on high
