Many thanks to DonegalVolvo who tabbed out the original version of this song. I have devised an
alternate version in open E tuning for those who want a different sound.

E C#m A B E
As I stand above the starboard bow and watch the ocean foam
E C#m A B E
As I view each new horizon I grow further from my home
E C#m E C#m
I'm sailing on a foreign ship, that's bound for Montreal
E C#m A B E
But I'd give the world to make my destination Donegal

E C#m A B E
I would make my way from Malin to Bundoran through Raphoe
E C#m A B E
Or Portsalon down to Killybegs by Creeslough and Dungloe
E C#m E C#m
I'd wander around by Barnesmore Gap to everyone I'd call
E C#m A B E
And beyond the Bluestack mountains to the town of Donegal
E C#m A B E
Oh Donegal I miss you and I'll never understand
E C#m A B E
Why I left you for those far off lands, against my hearts command
E C#m E C#m
Whatever fortune comes my way, whatever may befall
E C#m A B E
I know I'll make my final destination Donegal (x2)
