Song For Ireland chords
Luke Kelly (Phil & June Colclough)
Capo II
[D] [A] [G] [D] [A] [D]
[D]Walking all the [A]day,
by [G]tall [D]towers where [A]falcons build their [D]nests
[D]In silver wings they [A]fly,
they [G]know the [D]call of [A]freedom in their [D]breasts
[G]Saw Black Head against the [D]sky,
where [Bm]twisted [G]rocks may [D]run down to the [A]sea
[G]Living on your [D]Western [A]shore,
saw [D]summer sun[A]sets, I [Bm]asked for [A]more,
I [G]stood by your At[D]lantic [A]Sea,
and I [G]sang a [D]song for [A]Ire[D]land
[D]Drinking all the [A]day,
in [G]old [D]pubs where [A]fiddlers love to [D]play
[D]Saw one touch the [A]bow,
he [G]played a [D]reel which [A]seemed so grand and [D]gay
I [G]stood on Dingle Beach and [D]cast,
in [Bm]wild [G]foam we [D]found Atlantic [A]bass,
[G]Living on your [D]Western [A]shore,
saw [D]summer sun[A]sets, I [Bm]asked for [A]more,
I [G]stood by your At[D]lantic [A]Sea,
and I [G]sang a [D]song for [A]Ire[D]land
[D]Laughing all the [A]day,
with [G]true [D]friends who [A]try to make you [D]stay
[D]Telling jokes and [A]news,
and [G]singing [D]songs to [A]while the time a[D]way,
We [G]watched the Galway salmon [D]run,
like [Bm]silver [G]dancing, [D]darting in the [A]sun
[G]Living on your [D]Western [A]shore,
saw [D]summer sun[A]sets, I [Bm]asked for [A]more,
I [G]stood by your At[D]lantic [A]Sea,
and I [G]sang a [D]song for [A]Ire[D]land
[D]Dreaming in the [A]night,
I [G]saw a [D]land where [A]no one had to [D]fight
And [D]waking in your [A]dawn,
I [G]saw you [D]crying [A]in the morning [D]light
[G]Sleeping where the falcons [D]fly,
they [Bm]twist and [G]turn all in your [D]air-blue [A]sky
[G]Living on your [D]Western [A]shore,
saw [D]summer sun[A]sets, I [Bm]asked for [A]more,
I [G]stood by your At[D]lantic [A]Sea,
and I [G]sang a [D]song for [A]Ire[D]land
[D] [A] [G] [D] [A] [D]
