Lone Shanakyle

          G                        
Where the wild waves surging foam, 
    C       D   Em
headlands appearing
           Dm            G        
Clouded in silver spray, flashing 
        Em              D
through heaven's bright ray
        C         Am          
For thy glory and pride, lovely

Sweet, sweet Inis Cathaigh, the 
sacred, the blessed
    C           Am         F     
Fit place for a saint or a 
    D
warrior's rest
     G        Em               C 
Your sentinel towers left each 
      D
storm repressed
     C              Am       
Your mourning waves wail for my

          D
There is nothing now left, holy 
isle, but thy name
    C           Am         F     
The ruin of thy glory, thy 
        D
grandeur, thy fame

For foreign laws see thy sadness

Lonely and sad I roam, far from my

How dearly I longed for to wander 
once more
       C            Am         F 
To the loved ones I left at my 
        D
old cabin door
   G             Em      C       
My blessings I'd given a thousand
       D
 times o'er
      C            Am       D    
And a prayer and a tear for poor

Sad, sad is my fate in this weary 
exile

Dark, dark is the night cloud o'er

lone Shanakyle
          G              Em       
Where the murdered sleep silently 
C         D
pile upon pile
       C          Am        D    
In the coffinless graves of poor
