Isle Of Innisfree chords by Traditional

Verse 1

G                                    C     | Am |
1. I've met some folk that say I am a dream-er
             D             D7                 G
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say
    G                             C     | Am |
But sure a body's bound to be a dream-er
               D          D7                 G
When all the things he loves are far a-way



Verse 2

    G                                    C     | Am |
2. And prec-ious things are dreams unto an e-xile
               D          D7                 G
They take him o'er the land a-cross the sea
    G                                 C     | Am |
Especially when it hap-pens he's an exile
               D          D7                 G   G7
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree

Bridge:
              C                             G
And when the moon-light peeps a-cross the roof tops
A                                  D | D7 |
Of this great city wondrous tho it be
    G                                 C     | Am |
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
               D          D7       G
I'm once a-gain back home in Innisfree

| G | C | C | G |


Verse 3:

    G                                    C     | Am |
3. I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys
               D          D7                 G
And find a peace no other land would know
            G                          C     | Am |
I hear the birds make mu-sic fit for an-gels
               D          D7                 G
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow



Verse 4:

    G                                  C     | Am |
4. And then in-to a humble shack I wander
               D          D7                 G
My dear old home and tenderly behold
    G                                    C     | Am |
The folks I love a-round the turf fire gathered
               D          D7                 G   | G7 |
On bend-ed knee their Rosary is told
                  C                          G
But dreams don't last though dreams are not forgotten
             A                 D | D7 |
And soon I'm back to stern reality
                 G                              C     | Am |
But though they pave the foot-paths here with gold dust
               D          D7                 G
