Song For Ireland  by  Mary Black

CAPO 2nd Fret


VERSE 1:
C               GWalking all the day
     F    C            F        G           CNear tall towers where falcons build their nests
                   GSilver-winged they fly
     Dm       Am       F       G        CThey know the call of  freedom in their breasts
F               Gsus       GSaw Black Head against the sky
     C       Am         C        F      GWith twisted rocks they run down to the sea


CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         GLiving on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
  F        G      C      G          Dm     Am       F G  CI stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land



VERSE 2:
C               GTalking all the day
     F    C            F     G        CWith true friends who try to make you stay
                  GTelling jokes and news
 Dm      Am      F        G      CSinging songs to pass the night away
F                  Gsus   GWatched the Galway salmon run
     C       Am       C      F      GLike silver dancing, darting in the sun


CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         GLiving on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
  F        G      C      G          Dm     Am       F G  CI stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land


VERSE 3:
C                GDrinking all the day
   F   C           F       G       CIn old pubs where fiddlers love to play
                    GSomeone touched the bow
   Dm       Am         F         G         CHe played a reel which seemed so grand and gay
F               Gsus       GStood on Dingle Beach and cast
   C    Am      C       F      GIn wild foam we found Atlantic bass


CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         GLiving on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
  F        G      C      G          Dm     Am       F G  CI stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land


VERSE 4:
C               GDreaming in the night
  F     C          F      G      CI saw a land where no one had to fight
               GWaking in your dawn
  Dm      Am     F       G       CI saw you crying in the morning light
F               Gsus    GLying where the falcons fly
     C         Am       C        F       GThey twist and turn all in your air-blue sky


CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         GLiving on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
  F        G      C      G          Dm       Am       F G  CI stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and I sang a song for I-re-land
