Song For Ireland chords
Luke Kelly (Phil & June Colclough)
Capo II
D A G D A D
D A
Walking all the day,
G D A D
by tall towers where falcons build their nests
D A
In silver wings they fly,
G D A D
they know the call of freedom in their breasts
G D
Saw Black Head against the sky,
Bm G D A
where twisted rocks may run down to the sea
G D A
Living on your Western shore,
D A Bm A
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
G D A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
G D A D
and I sang a song for Ireland
D A
Drinking all the day,
G D A D
in old pubs where fiddlers love to play
D A
Saw one touch the bow,
G D A D
he played a reel which seemed so grand and gay
G D
I stood on Dingle Beach and cast,
Bm G D A
in wild foam we found Atlantic bass,

G D A
Living on your Western shore,
D A Bm A
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
G D A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
G D A D
and I sang a song for Ireland
D A
Laughing all the day,
G D A D
with true friends who try to make you stay
D A
Telling jokes and news,
G D A D
and singing songs to while the time away,
G D
We watched the Galway salmon run,
Bm G D A
like silver dancing, darting in the sun
G D A
Living on your Western shore,
D A Bm A
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
G D A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
G D A D
and I sang a song for Ireland
D A
Dreaming in the night,
G D A D
I saw a land where no one had to fight
D A
And waking in your dawn,
G D A D
I saw you crying in the morning light
G D
Sleeping where the falcons fly,
Bm G D A
they twist and turn all in your air-blue sky
G D A
Living on your Western shore,
D A Bm A
saw summer sunsets, I asked for more,
G D A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
G D A D
and I sang a song for Ireland
D A G D A D
