Verse 1:
N.C.
Oh the green and red of mayo,
N.C.
I can see it still,
N.C.
It's soft and craggy boglands,
N.C.
It's tall magestic hills,
[G]Where the ocean kisses Ireland,
[C]The waves caress it's shore
[G]The feelin' it came over me,
[C]To stay for ever more,
[G]For ever more,

Verse 2:
[G]
I can [C]see Croagh Patrick's peak,
where one [G]sunday every summer,
the [C]pilgrims climb the reek
where St. [G]Patrick in it's solitude,
looks [C]out across Clew bay,
and with the [G]ringin' of his bell
Called the [C]faithful there to pray,
there to [G]pray,

Verse 3:
(Chords as verse 2)
Take me to Clare island,
The home of Granuaile,
It's waters harbour fishes,
And now I must depart it,
And reality is plain,
May the time not pass so slowly,
Till I set sail again,
Set sail again,
