Connemara by the Lake
Key: G
Verse 1:
G C D
I still recall that day in July
D7 G
When you said to me your last goodbye;
C D
On that sad night you sailed away,
D7 G
To distant lands across the sea.
Chorus:
G C
In Connemara by the lake,
D D7 G
Two young hearts, had to break;
C
In County Galway by the sea,
D D7 G
Where I loved you and you loved me.
Verse 2:
G C D
For five long years I had to wait
D7 G
And now at last, you come too late;
C D
For I was told that you were dead,
D7 G
Yesterday at noon, Love, I was wed.
Chorus:
G C
In Connemara by the lake,
D Ð7 G
Two young hearts, had to break;
C
In County Galway by the sea,
D Ð7 G
Where I loved you and you loved me.
Verse 3:
G C D
Oh the western breezes whisper true,
D7 G
And bring back memories of you;
C D
Of summer days I cannot forget,
D7 G
In Connemara where we met.
Chorus:
G C
In Connemara by the lake,
D D7. G
Two young hearts, had to break;
C
In County Galway by the sea,
D D7 G
Where I loved you and you loved me.
