Intro C G Am G C VERSE 1
C G Am G F G COn the quiet banks of the Liffey and lakes, Dublin wrote her name.
C G Am G FOn the broad backs of men, we never met with their pens and their stones,
G Cthey did the same,
C G Am G FIn the hours passed in the pubs, all the glasses were full and they were
G Cwet to the sleeve.
C G Am G F G CAnd the eyes were so clear on the girl I met there,I swore IÂ’d never leave.
CHORUS
F GAnd the young men who longed for these shores in a song,
C C/B AmAll they wanted was a home,
F G C C/B AmAnd I wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the light of dawn,
F G CPatiently, she waits there for me to come home.
VERSE 2
C G Am G F GWas a bleary-eyed night, drunk from the lights and the sounds of a city
Cawake,
C G Am G F GAnd she stood in the crowd, her face as a shroud, leaving nothing for my eye
Cto take.
C G Am G F But a warmth was so clear, it betrayed her as nearly she glowed like those
G Clights on the bridge,
C G Am G F GAnd a pain in my side, as I was drawn to her pride like the rise of the wind
Cto the ridge.
CHORUS
F GAnd the young men who longed for these shores in a song,
C C/B AmAll they wanted was a home,
F G C C/B AmAnd I wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the light of dawn,
F G CPatiently, she waits there for me to come home.
INSTRUMENTAL - PLAY CHORUS CHORDS VERSE 3 (stum full chords)
C G Am G FThese waters have run red, these beaches have bled from the wounds at the
G Cdark heart of man,
C G Am G FDaughters grown sharp, tongues like knives to the heart or a charm for the
G Ccurse of the land,
C G Am G FWith prayers in their eyes, how well they've disguised that it's love
G Cthey're giving away.
C G Am G F G But you might believe when your hard heart says leave but this one implores
Cyou to stay.
CHORUS
F G And the young men who longed for these girls with our songs,
C C/B AmAll we wanted was a home.
F G C C/B Am She wants one too with someone heart as true as this prison made of stone,
F G CPatiently, she waits there for me to come home,
F G CPatiently, I wait to be free and be home.
