Now the Autumn leaves are falling and the tourists have all gone 
                          C              D 
And the children they have all gone back to school 
       G      D            G 
And my life is as it was before 
C        D           G                                C             D

There's a girl in Massachusetts south of Boston town she said 
                      C                D 
And her lovely face is with me all the day 
     G       D           G               C       D     G 
But I met her down in old Tralee , golden hair upon her head 
                         D                G 
Well I took her heart and she stole mine away

Theres a song we sang all summer in the bars of Dublin town 
                    C            D 
I can here it on the factory radio 
       G        D    G          C     D           G 
And the feeling I remember when I here that simple tune 
                    C               D 
Make me wonder if it really happened so 
      C            D        G              C      D         G 
For we laughed and loved together 'till the summer days were gone 
                   D               G     C G 
And she had to fly across the ocean wide 

                 D      G 
Well, goodbye my Boston beauty  
  C      D      G 
Until we meet again 
                      D               G    C G 
And I'll keep the fire burning deep inside

         G           D   G               G           D         G 
And some nights when im drinking and my friends have gathered 'round 
                C                       D 
And just for fun someone calls out your name

I love you but to them it's all the same 
  C                G               C     D      G 
At nights when im alone my love you come into my mind 
                   G 
And visions flash upon the Emerald Isle 
      C         D          G           C            D       G 
Well I watch the moon there up above I'll leave this earth behind 
                        D           G   C G 
And I'll call to you as I go sailing by
