Song For Ireland

Dm Am F G C C G Walking all the day, Dm Am F G C near tall towers where falcons build their nests C G In silver wings they fly, Dm Am F G C they know the call of freedom in their breast Dm F C Saw Black Head a-gainst the sky, Am Dm G where twisted rocks may run to the sea Dm Am C Living on your Western shore, C F G I saw summer sunsets, I asked for more, Dm Am G I stood by your Atlantic Sea, Dm Am F C and sang a song for Ire-land C G Drinking all the day, Dm Am F G C in old pubs where fiddlers love to play C G Someone touch a bow, Dm Am F G C he played a reel which seemed so grand and gay Dm F C Watched the Galway salmon run, Am Dm Am G like silver dancing, darting in the sun Dm Am C Living on your Western shore, C F G I saw summer sunsets, I asked for more, Dm Am G I stood by your Atlantic Sea, Dm Am F C and I sang a song for Ire-land C G Dreaming in the night, Dm Am F G C I saw a land where no man had to fight C G And waking in your dawn, Dm Am F G C I heard you sighing against the morning sun Dm Am C Sleeping where a falcon flies, Am Dm G they twist and turn all in your air-blue sky Dm Am C Living on your Western shore, C F G saw summer sunsets, I asked for more, Dm Am G I stood by your Atlantic Sea, Dm Am F C and I sang a song for Ire-land Dm Am G I stood by your Atlantic Sea, Dm Am F G C and I sang a song for I-re-land
