[Verse]
                  Am       G
I am going to the country
                        D     Bm
Going down that verdant lane
                   C                   G
With nothing but a whistle in my hand
                   D
And a pocketful of rain
C                 D
Can you hear that distant sound
      Em  D          C         G    Am
Coming down the West Clare railway
                                    G  D/F#  C    D
And running with the shades of Gloria

[Verse]
                  Am          G
The wind is full of memories
                D     Bm
That murmur and sigh
                  C                       G
Hills rise in the foaming grass of Clare
                      D
Below the cold moon's eye
C                   D
You should come and see them now
Em        D      C G    Am
When they are on fire
                                    G  D/F#  C    D
And running with the shades of Gloria

[Verse]
                      Am        G
The waves roll at the headland
                        D
When the tide is rising there
    Bm          C
But here, there is starlight falling
G                    D
Down on the hills of Clare
  C                    D
I knew them when I was hungry
      Em       D           C   G   Am
And I knew them when I was scared
                                    G  D/F#  C    D
And running with the shades of Gloria

                  Am       G
I am going to the country
                   D      Bm
Where Micho in his prime
                   C       G
Weaved a thread of melody
                 D
In his own sweet time
  C              D                 Em
You can hear him sing and whistle
   D      C   G     Am
Anytime you care to go
                                G
running with the shades of Gloria

Going down that verdant lane
                   C                   G
With nothing but a whistle in my hand
                  D
And a pocketful of rain
