My Irish Bonnie Lass

B Dbm You never saw me leave E B Never heard A I was too proud Abm to show you my tears I was seventeen Dbm The postcards were few E B I didn't have the words to tell you A I was doing well but it was hard B Not having you F#m Someday you will B understand my reason for leaving F#m B Someday you will be seventeen Dbm E And the road that I will go B A Through the streets of America Dbm E From its furthest northern shores B To its southern seas Dbm E And one day I'll return B A To the green fields of Ireland Dbm Where my Irish bonny lass E B Who waits for me Dbm I can picture now B As the evening sun comes to praise you A Ab A golden hue of light reflects on your face Dbm How sweet is your smile B I remember it well A Though I'm here on foreign site B My thoughts are with you Dbm E And the road that I will go B A Through the streets of America Dbm E From its furthest northern shores B To its southern seas Dbm E And one day I'll return B A To the green fields of Ireland Dbm Where my Irish bonny lass E B Who waits for me Dbm Say you’ll wait for me
