When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
[C] There's a tear in your eye
And I'm wondering why
For [G7] it [C] never should be there at all
With [G7] such pow'r in your smile
Sure a [C] stone you'd be-[A7]-guile
So there's [D7] never a teardrop should [G7] fall
When [C] your sweet lilting laughter's
Like some fairy song
And your [G7] eyes [C] twinkle [C7] bright as can [F] be
You should [D7] laugh all the while
And all [G] other times smile
And now, [D7] smile a smile for [G] me [G7]
[Chorus]
|When [C] Irish [G7] eyes are [C] smiling [C7]
|Sure, 'tis [F] like the morn in [C] Spring
|In the [F] lilt of Irish [C] laughter [A7]
|You can [D7] hear the angels [G] sing [G7]
|When [C] Irish [G7] hearts are [C] happy [C7]
|All the [F] world seems bright and [C] gay
|And when [F] Irish [Ebdim] eyes are [C] smil-[A7]-ing
|Sure, they [D7] steal your [G7] heart a-[C]-way
[C] For your smile is a part
Of the love in your heart
And [G7] it [C] makes even sunshine more bright
Like the [G7] linnet's sweet song
Crooning [C] all the day [A7] long
Comes your [D7] laughter so tender and [G7] light
For [C] the springtime of life
Is the sweetest of all
There is [G7] ne'er [C] a real [C7] care or re-[F]-gret
And while [D7] springtime is ours
Throughout [G] all of youth's hours
Let us [D7] smile each chance we [G] get [G7]
[Chorus]
Slower:
Yes, when [F] Irish [Ebdim] eyes are [C] smil-[A7]-ing
Sure, they [D7] steal your [G7] heart a-[C]-way
When Irish Eyes Are Smiling [C]
C There's a tear in your eye And I'm wondering why For G7 it C never should be there at all With G7 such pow'r in your smile Sure a C stone you'd be-A7-guile So there's D7 never a teardrop should G7 fall When C your sweet lilting laughter's Like some fairy song And your G7 eyes C twinkle C7 bright as can F be You should D7 laugh all the while And all G other times smile And now, D7 smile a smile for G me G7
