Verse 1:
A
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree
A
Nine bean rows will I have there, and a hive for the honeybee
D                                      A
And a small cabin, of clay and wattles made
E              C     G       D        A
And I will live alone in the bee-loud glade

Verse 2:
A
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow
A
Where midnight's all a-glimmer and noon's a purple glow
D                                                           A
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings
E               C     G           D        A
And the evening full, full of the linnet's wings
Verse 3:
A
I will arise and go now for always night and day
A
While I stand on the roadside or on the pavement gray
D                                           A
I hear lake water lapping low sounds of the shore
E                C     G   D            A
I hear it in the deep, the deep heart's core

Break:
A
    Aaah!
A
    Aaah!
A

Outro:
D                                                A
There midnight's all a-glimmer and noon a purple glow
E      C G D     A
I will arise and go
