song for ireland chords
luke kelly ( phil & june colclough )

capo ii

D A G D A D

D A
walking all the day ,
G D A D
by tall towers where falcons build their nests
D A
in silver wings they fly ,
G D A D
they know the call of freedom in their breasts
G D
saw black head against the sky ,
Bm G D A
where twisted rocks may run down to the sea

G D A
living on your western shore ,
D A Bm A
saw summer sunsets , i asked for more ,
G D A
i stood by your atlantic sea ,
G D A D
and i sang a song for ireland

D A
drinking all the day ,
G D A D
in old pubs where fiddlers love to play
D A
saw one touch the bow ,
G D A D
he played a reel which seemed so grand and gay
G D
i stood on dingle beach and cast ,
Bm G D A
in wild foam we found atlantic bass ,

G D A
living on your western shore ,
D A Bm A
saw summer sunsets , i asked for more ,
G D A
i stood by your atlantic sea ,
G D A D
and i sang a song for ireland

D A
laughing all the day ,
G D A D
with true friends who try to make you stay
D A
telling jokes and news ,
G D A D
and singing songs to while the time away ,
G D
we watched the galway salmon run ,
Bm G D A
like silver dancing , darting in the sun

G D A
living on your western shore ,
D A Bm A
saw summer sunsets , i asked for more ,
G D A
i stood by your atlantic sea ,
G D A D
and i sang a song for ireland

D A
dreaming in the night ,
G D A D
i saw a land where no one had to fight
D A
and waking in your dawn ,
G D A D
i saw you crying in the morning light
G D
sleeping where the falcons fly ,
Bm G D A
they twist and turn all in your air – blue sky

G D A
living on your western shore ,
D A Bm A
saw summer sunsets , i asked for more ,
G D A
i stood by your atlantic sea ,
G D A D
and i sang a song for ireland

D A G D A D
