Song For Ireland  Luke Kelly


Small correction on one of the chords in the chorus


[C]Walking all the [G]day
By [Dm]tall [Am]towers where [F]falcons [G]build their [C]nests
[C]In silver wings they [G]fly,
they [Dm]know the [Am]call of [F]freedom [G]in their [C]breasts,
[F]saw Black Head against the [G]sky
Where [C]twisted [Am]rocks [F]run down [C]to the [G]sea
[F]Living on your [C]Western shore,
Saw [C]summer sunsets, I asked for [G]more,
I [F]stood by your [C]Atlantic [G]Sea,
And [Dm]sang a [Am]song for [F]Ir[G]el[C]and
(C)Drinking all the (G)day,
In (Dm)old (Am)pubs where (F)fiddlers (G)love to (C)play,
(C)Saw one touch the (G)bow,
He (Dm)played a (Am)reel which (F)seemed so (G)grand and (C)gay,
(F)I stood on Dingle Beach and (G)cast,
In (C)wild (Am)foam we (F)found (C)Atlantic (G)bass,
(F)Living on your (C)Western shore,
Saw (C)summer sunset, asked for (G)more,
I (F)stood by your (C)Atlantic (G)Sea,
And (Dm)sang a (Am)song for (F)Ireland(G)(C)


(C)Laughing all the (g)day,
With (Dm)true (Am)friends who (F)try to (G)make you (C)stay,
(C)Telling jokes and (G)news,
And (Dm)singing (am)songs to (F)pass the (G)night (C)away,
(F)We watched the Galway salmon (G)run,
Like (C)silver (Am)dancing, (F)darting (C)in the (G)sun,
(F)Living on your (C)Western shore,
Saw (C)summer sunset, I asked for (G)more,
I (F)stood by your (C)Atlantic (G)Sea,
And (Dm)sang a (Am)song for (F)Ireland(G)(C)


(C)Dreaming in the (G)night,
I (Dm)saw a (Am)land where (F)no one (G)had to (C)fight,
(C)And waking in your (G)dawn,
I (Dm)saw you (Am)crying (F)in the (G)morning (C)light,
(F)Lying where the falcons (G)fly,
They (C)twist and (Am)turn all (F)in your (C)air-blue(G)sky,
(F)Living on your (C)western shore,
Saw (C)summer sunset, I asked no (G)more,
I (F)stood by your (C)Atlantic (G)sea,
And (Dm)sang a (Am)song for (F)Ireland(G)(C)
