No Capo

G+G  G7G7  C majorC  A minorAm  D MajorD  D7D7  G+G  D7D7

       G+G     G7G7       C majorC    A minorAm
I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer
      D MajorD       D7D7         G+G   D7D7
And I've no doubt, there's truth in what they say
      G+G   G7G7      C majorC    A minorAm
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
       D MajorD     D7D7      G+G   D7D7
When all the things he loves are far away

       G+G     G7G7       C majorC   A minorAm
And precious things are dreams unto an exile
       D MajorD    D7D7       G+G  D7D7
They take him o'er the land across the sea
      G+G    G7G7       C majorC   A minorAm
Especially when it happens he's an exile
        D MajorD   D7D7      G+G   G7G7
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree

       C majorC     C majorC        G+G     G+G
And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops
       A augmentedA   A7A7        D MajorD  D7D7
Of this great city, wondrous tho' it be
      G+G    G7G7      C majorC     A minorAm
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
     D MajorD      D7D7      G+G   D7D7
I'm once again, back home in Innisfree

G+G  G7G7  C majorC  A minorAm  D MajorD  D7D7  G+G  D7D7
G+G  G7G7  C majorC  A minorAm  D MajorD  D7D7  G+G  D7D7

     G+G     G7G7          C majorC    A minorAm
I wander o'er green hills, through dreamy valleys
      D MajorD    D7D7        G+G   D7D7
And find a peace no other land could know
      G+G     G7G7      C majorC    A minorAm
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
       D MajorD   D7D7        G+G   D7D7
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow

      G+G  G7G7       C majorC    A minorAm
And then into a humble shack I wander
      D MajorD    D7D7     G+G   D7D7
My dear old home, I tenderly behold
      G+G   G7G7          C majorC     A minorAm
The folks I love, around the turf-fire, gathered
     D MajorD    D7D7    G+G   G7G7
On bended knee the rosary is told

         C majorC      C majorC         G+G    G+G
But dreams don't last, though dreams are not forgotten
       A augmentedA    A7A7     D MajorD  D7D7
And soon I'm back to stern reality
        G+G    G+G          C majorC     A minorAm
But though they pave the footpaths here with gold-dust
       D MajorD     D7D7      G+G   D7D7
I still would choose my Isle of Innisfree
      G+G    G7G7      C majorC     A minorAm
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
     D MajorD      D7D7      G+G   G7G7
I'm once again, back home in Innisfree
       D MajorD     D7D7      G+G   C majorC   G+G
I still would choose my Isle of Innisfree
