🎸 Verse 1:
         A              D
When the summer day is over
        A                E
And its busy cares have flown,
  A                D
I sit beneath the starlight
       A      E       A
With a weary heart, alone,

🎸 Chorus:
          E           A
Then it rises like a vision,
          D                   E
Sparkling bright in nature′s glee,
   A               D
My own dear Ellan Vannin
         A            E       A
With its green hills by the sea.

🎸 Verse 2:
        A                 D
Then I hear the wavelets murmur
        A               E
As they kiss the fairy shore,
     A                    D
Then beneath the em'rald waters
            A      E      A
Sings the mermaid as of yore,

🎸 Verse 3:
        E                      A
And the fair Isle shines with beauty

D                         E
As in youth it dawned on me,
   A               D
My own dear Ellan Vannin
         A            E       A
With its green hills by the sea.


🎸 Verse 4:
     A                   D
Then mem′ries sweet and tender
          A                  E
Come like music's plaintive flow,
   A                    D
Of the hearts in Ellan Vannin
     A         E      A
That lov'd me long ago,
      E                    A
And I give with tears and blessings,

D                       E
My fondest thoughts to thee,
   A               D
My own dear Ellan Vannin
         A            E       A
With its green hills by the sea.
