C D G
I wish that I was home in Donegal
C D
To be with you beside the sea
Em C
To hear your sweet voice calling me
G D G
Back to my home in Donegal

G Am D
He walks upon the streets of New Orleans
G Am
There is a strange and unfamiliar look
C D
To every face he sees.
C D
He came here for the money
G C Am
The adventure and the craic
G Am
Now all he ever thinks about
D G
Is someday going back
G Am D
He misses all his family and friends
G Am
There's times when he'd give all he has
C D
Just to be with them again
C D
Before the young ones move away
G C Am
The old ones are all gone.
G Am
Before his heart can realize
D G
He's been away too long.
G Am D
Sometimes he lays there dreaming in the night
G Am
To get a job of extra work
C D
He?ll save the money for the flight
C D
But lonely dreams in darkness
G C Am
disappear before the dawn
G Am
Familiar faces fade away
D G
All the dreams are gone.
