Chorus:

    Em
The host is riding from Knocknarea

Em
And over the grave of Clooth-na-Bare

Em
Caoilte tossing his burning hair

                                A
And Niamh calling, "Away, come away

            Em
Away, come away

Verse:

    B
The wind's awake, leaves swirl round

    Am
Our cheeks are pale, our hair unbound

    B
Our breasts a'heave, our eyes are agleam

B
Empty your heart of its mortal dream

Chorus:

    Em
The host is riding from Knocknarea

Em
And over the grave of Clooth-na-Bare

Em
Caoilte tossing his burning hair

                                A
And Niamh calling, "Away, come away

Away, come away

Verse:

    B
Our arms a'wave, our lips are apart

       Am
And if any should gaze upon our band

   B
We come between him and the hope of his heart

B
We come between him and the deed of his hand

Chorus:

    Em
The host is riding from Knocknarea

Em
And over the grave of Clooth-na-Bare

Em
Caoilte tossing his burning hair

                                A
And Niamh calling, "Away, come away
