C      F        C      Am
When I was young and in my prime 
          F               G
And could wander wild and free 
          C        G7     C      Am
There was always a longing in my mind 
   C                      G   G7
To follow the call of the sea 

[Chorus] 
        C        F       C      Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford 
    C               G  G7
And farewell to Greenore 
         C                 F       Em
And I'll think of you both day and night
      Dm             G
Untill I return once more, 
      F    G         C
Untill I return once more 


[Verse]
      C        F     C      Am
On all the stormy seven seas 
       F                 G
I have sailed before the mast 
   C      G7    C       Am
And every voyage I ever made 
   C                   G   G7
I swore it would be my last 

[Chorus] 
        C        F       C      Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford 
    C               G  G7
And farewell to Greenore 
         C                 F       Em
And I'll think of you both day and night
      Dm             G
Untill I return once more, 
      F    G         C
Untill I return once more 


[Verse]
          C     F           C    Am
And I had a girl called Mary Doyle 
        F            G
And she lived in Greenore 
        C        G7       C     Am
And the foremost tho-ught in my mind 
       C               G   G7
Was to keep me safe onshore 


[Chorus] 
        C        F       C      Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford 
    C               G  G7
And farewell to Greenore 
         C                 F       Em
And I'll think of you both day and night
      Dm             G
Untill I return once more, 
      F    G         C
Untill I return once more 


[Verse]
  C         F       C      Am
A landman's life is all his own
      F             G
He can go or he can stay
    C        G7       C      Am
But when the sea gets in your blood
         C               G   G7
When she calls you must o-bey


[Chorus] 
        C        F       C      Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford 
    C               G  G7
And farewell to Greenore 
         C                 F       Em
And I'll think of you both day and night
      Dm             G
Untill I return once more, 
      F    G         C
Untill I return once more 


[Chorus] 
        C        F       C      Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford 
    C               G  G7
And farewell to Greenore 
         C                 F       Em
And I'll think of you both day and night
      Dm             G
Untill I return once more, 
      F    G         C
Untill I return once more
