Lovely Leitrim

G C G D7 G Last night I had a pleasant dream I woke up with a smile G C Am D7 I dreamed that I was back again in dear old Erin's isle G C Am D7 I thought I saw Lough Allen's banks in the valleys down below G C G D7 G It was my lovely Leitrim where the Shannon waters flow G C G D7 G I felt enchanted by the scene of grandeur and delight G C Am D7 So I strolled on to Carrig Town before the dark of night G C Am D7 I passed Sheepmore that fairy hill where flowers fine do grow G C G D7 G And I saw the grave of Finn McColl where the Shannon waters flow G C G D7 G I next did visit Fenagh Town with her ancient abbey walls G C Am D7 Where the teaching of the holy monks once echoed through her halls G C Am D7 I stood with reverence on the spot reluctant for to go G C G D7 G From the town of saints and sages where the Shannon waters flow G C G D7 G My eyes are dimmed and wet with tears I must be dreaming still G C Am D7 I thought I saw those hero's that died on Selton Hill G C Am D7 But the fog is lifting from the scene and I am forced to go G C G D7 G And leave the land so fair and grand where the Shannon waters flow G C G D7 G In all the lands that I have been through the east and the west G C Am D7 In all the lands that I have seen I love my own the best G C Am D7 And if ever I return again the first place I will go G C G D7 G Will be to lovely Leitrim where the Shannon waters flow
