G

[Verse 1]
                  D         C    G
A moment in time, rosin the bow
                            F
Sound the strings of years ago
  G      F       C
A sunlit room at Glenties fair
  Dm        C       F        G
A traveller plays a haunting air


[Verse 2]
                  D        C    G
A story told, the laughter peel
                            F
The fiddler strikes another reel
    G     F          C
The music lifts, the tapping toe
    Dm        C         F       G
The listeners call for "Séan sa Cheo"


[Chorus]
C        D7  C        D
Feel his art lift the heart
C                 D7              C
Sense the spirits rise and fall
          F        G
A fiddler plays in Donegal


[Verse 3]
                            D          C   G
But the story resounds, the tune rings on
                          F
The given note, the given song
    G     F               C
And now a child lifts the master's bow
  Dm        C         F      G
A moment in time from years ago


[Chorus]
C        D7  C        D
Feel his art lift the heart
C                 D7              C
Sense the spirits rise and fall
          F        G
A fiddler plays in Donegal
