Dm C Am Dm
Dm Listen now boys, my Bb grandmother F said -
I'll Gm tell you a s Dm tory and C then off to Dm bed.
There Dm once was a time, we Bb lived of the F land,
Gm Harvest would Dm come, and we C all lent a Dm hand. C (ri Am ff r Dm epea Dm ted C twi Am ce) Dm
But Dm winds blew our lives, and Bb scattered our F seeds.
Gm Changing the Dm landscape, from C flowers to Dm weeds.
Dm See in the graveyard the Bb families F gone.
The Gm grandest of Dm tombstones C carry them Dm on...
When you Bb sail F from the Am7 Harbour,
It's your Bb last F eyes of Dm Ireland. C (ri Am ff r Dm epea Dm ted C twi Am ce) Dm
We tended the fire, and faeries appeased
the flames never died until we had to leave.
And when we were gone, the house tumbled down
and covered our footprints, we'd left on the ground.
When you sail from the Harbour,
It's your last eyes of Ireland.
(short guitar solo in the following chord sequence:
C an Dm d t Bb hen C b Dm ack Bb to Am intro riff)
My eyes are now tired and no longer see.
But visions of Ireland linger in me.
So carry your past in the rooms of your heart
and you'll never be empty of love when you part...
When you sail from the Harbour,
It's your last eyes of Ireland.
