VERSE 1

       C     G            Am     
On the quiet banks of the Liffey 
    G      F      G         C
and lakes, Dublin wrote her name.

       C              G           
On the broad backs of men, we 
  Am             G              F
never met with their pens and their 
stones,

     G       C
they did the same,

       C     G             Am    
In the hours passed in the pubs, 
        G            F
all the glasses were full and they 
were

G          C
wet to the sleeve.

        C            G            
And the eyes were so clear on the 
Am         G       F         G  
girl I met there,I swore I’d never 
   C
leave.

CHORUS

        F                       
And the young men who longed for 
       G
these shores in a song,

         C      C/B   Am
All they wanted was a home,

      F                     G  
And I wanted one too with a girl 
                      C     C/B Am
eyes as blue as the light of dawn,

F              G                 
Patiently, she waits there for me
         C
 to come home.


VERSE 2

      C           G      Am      
Was a bleary-eyed night, drunk 
       G              F           
from the lights and the sounds of a 
G
city

C
awake,

        C            G          
And she stood in the crowd, her 
Am        G               F     
face as a shroud, leaving 
         G
nothing for my eye

   C
to take.

      C             G       
But a warmth was so clear, it 
  Am              G          F
betrayed her as nearly she glowed 
like those

G             C
lights on the bridge,

      C          G              
And a pain in my side, as I was 
Am           G              F   
drawn to her pride like the rise
        G
 of the wind

       C
to the ridge.


CHORUS

        F                       
And the young men who longed for 
       G
these shores in a song,

         C      C/B   Am
All they wanted was a home,

      F                     G  
And I wanted one too with a girl 
                      C     C/B Am
eyes as blue as the light of dawn,

F              G                 
Patiently, she waits there for me
         C
 to come home.


INSTRUMENTAL - PA Y CHORUS CHORDS

VERSE 3 (stum full chords)

      C               G          
These waters have run red, these 
Am           G             F
beaches have bled from the wounds at
 the

G             C
dark heart of man,

C               G                
Daughters grown sharp, tongues 
   Am            G          F
like knives to the heart or a charm 
for the

G            C
curse of the land,

     C                G         
With prayers in their eyes, how 
Am                G              
well they've disguised that it's 
F
love

        G      C
they're giving away.

     C        G                 
But you might believe when your 
Am              G         F     
hard heart says leave but this 
     G
one implores

       C
you to stay.


CHORUS

        F                       
And the young men who longed for 
       G
these girls with our songs,

       C      C/B   Am
All we wanted was a home.

F                      G         
She wants one too with someone 
                    C      C/B     
heart as true as this prison made 
Am
of stone,

F              G                 
Patiently, she waits there for me
         C
 to come home,

F            G                   
Patiently, I wait to be free and 
   C
be home.
