[Verse 1]
G                              Em
Farewell my country a long farewell,
      C     D         G
My tale of anguish no tongue can 
tell,
For I’m forced to fly o're the ocean
Em
 wide,
      C        D            
From the home I love by Lough 
  C       G
Sheelin side.
G                              Em
How proud was I of my girl so fair,
      C           D            G
I was envied most by the young men 
there,
When I brought her back a bashful 
Em
bride,
        C       D            
From my cottage home by Lough 
C       G
Sheelin side.

[Chorus]
G                          C
Farewell my love a fond a dieu,
            G               Em    
Farewell my comrades and my 
  C
country too
D7      G                        
For I'm forced to fly o're the 
    Em
ocean wide
         C      D           
From the home I love by Lough 
  C       G
Sheelin side.

[Verse 2]
G                                
But all our joys were too good to 
Em
last,
        C                 D   
For the landlord came our young 
           G
hopes to blast,
                             Em
In vain we pleaded for mercy no,
      C     D           C        
He hurled us out in the blinding 
G
snow.

G                            
But no one opened for us their 
  Em
doors,
    C               D              
For ill felt vengeance would reach 
G
them sure,
My Eileen fainted in my arms and 
Em
died,
        C      D             C   
On that snowy night by Lough 
    G
Sheelin side.

[Chorus]
G                          C
Farewell my love a fond a dieu,
            G               Em    
Farewell my comrades and my 
  C
country too
D7      G                        
For I'm forced to fly o're the 
    Em
ocean wide
         C      D           
From the home I love by Lough 
  C       G
Sheelin side

[Verse 3]
G                                 
I buried her down in the 
  Em
churchyard low
         C              D         
Where in springtime the wild 
   G
flowers grow,
I shed no tears for my tongue felt 
Em
dry
        C        D            
On that fearfull night by Lough 
  C       G
Sheelin side.
G                              
Farewell my country farewell all 
   Em
day,
         C                 D      G
The ship will soon take me far away,
                               Em
But my fond heart would sooner bide,
        C        D            
Near my Eileen's grave by lough 
C          G
Sheelin side.

[Chorus]
G                          C
Farewell my love a fond a dieu,
            G               Em    
Farewell my comrades and my 
  C
country too
D7      G                        
For I'm forced to fly o're the 
    Em
ocean wide
         C      D           
From the home I love by Lough 
  C       G
Sheelin side
