Verse 1:
          G          C              G
There's a spot in me heart which no colleen may own
          G           C          A          D
There's a depth in me soul never sounded or known
          G           Em         A7            C
There's a place in my memory, my life that you fill
   G         Em          A        D
No other can take it, no one ever will

Chorus 1:
      G             D7          G
Oh, I love the dear silver that shines in your hair
        C               G            Em  A7        D
And the brow that's all furrowed and wrinkled with care
       G             D          G    C    B   Em
I will kiss the dear fingers so toil-worn for me
B       C             G         A7     D   G
Oh, God bless you and keep you, Mother Machree

Verse 2:
      G         C           G
Every sorrow or care in the dear days gone by
         G             C             A            D
Was made bright by the light of the smile in your eye
       G             Em       A7        C
Like a candle that's set in a window at night
     G             Em             A         D     
Your fond love has cheered me and guided me right
