[Verse 1]

D               A
Walking all the day,
   G    D            A           
by tall towers where falcons 
        D
build their nests
D                    A
In silver wings they fly,
     G        D       A          
they know the call of freedom in 
      D
their breasts
G                          D
Saw Black Head against the sky,
      Bm      F#m   G        D  
where twisted rocks may run down
         A
 to the sea

[Chorus]

G              D
Living on your Western shore,
     Bm    F#m G       D    
saw summer sunsets, I asked for 
     A
more,
  G               D      A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
      G      D        A  D
and I sang a song for Ireland

[Verse 2]

D                A
Drinking all the day,
   G   D          A               
in old pubs where fiddlers love to 
 D
play
D                 A
Saw one touch the bow,
   G        D          A         
he played a reel which seemed so 
          D
grand and gay
  G                         D
I stood on Dingle Beach and cast,
Continúa después del anuncio
   Bm    F#m     G       D      A
in wild foam we found Atlantic bass,

[Chorus]

G              D
Living on your Western shore,
     Bm    F#m G       D    
saw summer sunsets, I asked for 
     A
more,
  G               D      A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
      G      D        A  D
and I sang a song for Ireland

[Verse 3]

D                A
Laughing all the day,
     G    D           A          
with true friends who try to make
     D
 you stay
D                 A
Telling jokes and news,
    G       D        A           
and singing songs to while the 
    D
time away,
   G                         D
We watched the Galway salmon run,
      Bm    F#m       G      D  
like silver dancing, darting in 
     A
the sun

[Chorus]

G              D
Living on your Western shore,
     Bm    F#m G       D    
saw summer sunsets, I asked for 
     A
more,
  G               D      A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
      G      D        A  D
and I sang a song for Ireland

[Verse 4]

D               A
Dreaming in the night,
  G     D          A             
I saw a land where no one had to 
D
fight
    D              A
And waking in your dawn,
  G       D      A              
I saw you crying in the morning 
D
light
G                          D
Sleeping where the falcons fly,
      Bm       F#m      G    
they twist and turn all in your 
    D        A
air-blue sky

[Chorus]

G              D
Living on your Western shore,
     Bm    F#m G       D    
saw summer sunsets, I asked for 
     A
more,
  G               D      A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
      G      D        A  D
and I sang a song for Ireland
