Irish Medley - Various
[intro G D G ]
When [G] Irish [D] eyes are [G] smiling [G7]
Sure, it's [C] like the morn in [G] Spring
To the [C] lilt of Irish [G] laughter
You can [A] hear the angels [D] sing [D7]
When [G] Irish [D] hearts are [G] happy [G7]
All the [C] world seems bright and [G] gay
And when [C] Irish eyes are [G] smiling
Sure, they'd [A] steal your [D] heart a-[G]-way
STOP
[C] There's one fair county in [F] Ireland
With [G] memories so glorious and [C] grand
Where [C] nature has lavished her [F] bounty
In the [G] orchards of Erin's green [C] land
I love it's Cathedral [F] city
once [G] founded by Patrick so [C] true
And it bears in the heart of it's [F] bosom
The [G] ashes of Brian [C] Boru
[Chorus]
It's my[C] own [F] I-[G] rish [C] home
[C] Far [F] across the[Dm] foam
And [G] though I've often left it
In foreign lands to [C] roam
No matter [F] where I [C] wander
Through cities [F] near and [Dm] far
Sure my [C] heart is at home in old [F] Ireland
In the [G] County of [C] Armagh
STOP
In Oran-[C]-more in the County Gal-[Em]-way,
One pleasant even-[Am]-ing in the month of [F] May [G7]
I spied a [C] damsel, she was young and [Em] handsome,
Her beauty [Am] fairly [F] took my [G] breath [C] away.
[Chorus]
[NC] She wore no [C] jewels, no costly [Em] diamonds,
No paint no [Am] powder, no none at [F] all [G7]
She wore a [C] bonnet with ribbons on [Em] it,
And 'round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C] shawl.
We kept on [C] walking, she kept on [Em] talking
Till her father's [Am] cottage came into [F] view [G7]
She said Come [C] in, sir, and meet my [Em] father,
And play to [Am] please him [F] The [G] Foggy [C] Dew.
[Chorus]
[NC] She wore no [C] jewels, no costly [Em] diamonds,
No paint no [Am] powder, no none at [F] all[G7]
She wore a [C] bonnet with ribbons on [Em] it,
And 'round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C] shawl
Yes 'round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C] Shawl [G] [C]
