Irish Medley * - Various
[1.,2.,3...]
Intro [G] [D7] [G]
When [G] Irish [D7] eyes are [G] smiling [G7]
Sure, it's [C] like a morn in [G] Spring
In the [C] lilt of Irish [G] laughter
You can [A] hear the angels [D] sing [D7]
When [G] Irish [D7] hearts are [G] happy [G7]
All the [C] world seems bright and [G] gay
And when [C] Irish eyes are [G] smiling [E7]
They [A] steal your [D] heart a-[G]-way [G]
_____________________________________
In a [C] neat little town they call Belfast
apprenticed to [F] trade I was [G] bound.
[C] Many an hour sweet happiness,
have I [Dm] spent in that [G] neat little [C] town.
Till a sad misfortune came o'er me, and
caused me to [F] stray from the [G] land.
Far a[C]way from my friends and relations,
be[Dm]trayed by the [G] black velvet [C] band
Her [C] eyes they shone like diamonds,
I thought her the [F] queen of the [G] land,
and her [C] hair hung over her shoulder,
tied [Dm] up with a [G] black velvet [C] band [C]

[C] There's one fair county in [F] Ireland [Dm]
With [G] memories so [G7] glorious and [C] grand
Where nature has lavished its [F] bounty [Dm]
In the [G] orchards of [G7] Erin's green [C] land
I love it's Cathedral [F] city [Dm]
once [G] founded by [G7] Patrick so [C] true
And it bears in the heart of it's [F] bosom [Dm]
The [G] ashes of [G7]Brian [C] Boru
It's my[C] own [Dm] Irish [C] home
[A7] Far across the[Dm] foam
And [G] though I've often left it
In [C]foreign [F]lands to [C] roam
No matter [Dm] where I [C] wander
Through [A7] cities near and [Dm] far
Sure my [C] heart is at home in old [F] Ireland [Dm]
In the [G] County [G7] of [C] Armagh [D7]
