  			Intro: D  


D                                   A 
If you ever go across the sea to ireland,  
A                                  D 
Then maybe at the closing of your day,  
D                                         E 
You can sit and watch the moon rise over claddagh, 
     A                              D 
And see the sun go down on galway bay.  
D                                      A 
Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,  
  A                              D 
The women in the meadow making hay,  
D                                       E 
Just to sit beside the turf fire in a cabin,      
A                                  D 
And watch the barefoot gosoons as they play 
  D 
For the breezes blowing o'er the sea's from 
     A 
 ireland,  
  A                                   D 
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow,  
  D                                     E 
And the women in the uplands digging praties  
         A                                   
Speak a language that the strangers do not  
  D 
Know.  
  D                 
Yet the strangers came and tried to teach u 
     A 
S their ways,  
     A 
And they scorned us just for being what we  
 D 
Are,  
 D         
But they might as well go chasin after moon 
   E 
 beams, 
  A                              D 
Or light a penny candle from a star.  
 D                                    A 
And if there's gonna be a life here after,  
      A                            D 
And somehow i'm sure there's gonna be,  
    D                                 E 
I will ask my god to let me make my heaven,    
E                                D 
In that dear land across the irish sea.  
    D                                 E 
I will ask my god to let me make my heaven,    
E                              D 
In my dear land across the irish sea.
