Verso 1
G C | Am |
1. I've met some folk that say I am a dream-er
D D7 G
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say
G C | Am |
But sure a body's bound to be a dream-er
D D7 G
When all the things he loves are far a-way
Verso 2
G C | Am |
2. And prec-ious things are dreams unto an e-xile
D D7 G
They take him o'er the land a-cross the sea
G C | Am |
Especially when it hap-pens he's an exile
D D7 G G7
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree
Bridge:
C G
And when the moon-light peeps a-cross the roof tops
A D | D7 |
Of this great city wondrous tho it be
G C | Am |
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
D D7 G
I'm once a-gain back home in Innisfree
| G | C | C | G |
Verso 3:
G C | Am |
3. I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys
D D7 G
And find a peace no other land would know
G C | Am |
I hear the birds make mu-sic fit for an-gels
D D7 G
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow
Verso 4:
G C | Am |
4. And then in-to a humble shack I wander
D D7 G
My dear old home and tenderly behold
G C | Am |
The folks I love a-round the turf fire gathered
D D7 G | G7 |
On bend-ed knee their Rosary is told
C G
But dreams don't last though dreams are not forgotten
A D | D7 |
And soon I'm back to stern reality
G C | Am |
But though they pave the foot-paths here with gold dust
D D7 G
I still would choose my Isle of In-nis-free
