[Verse 1]
D# C# G#
A# moment in time, rosin the bow

Sound the strings of years ago

A# sunlit room at Glenties fair

A# traveller plays a haunting air
[Verse 2]

A# story told, the laughter peel

The fiddler strikes another reel
G# F# C#
The music lifts, the tapping toe
D#m C# F# G#
The listeners call for "Séan sa Cheo"

Feel his art lift the heart

Sense the spirits rise and fall
F# G#
A# fiddler plays in Donegal
[Verse 3]
D# C# G#
But the story resounds, the tune rings on

The given note, the given song
G# F# C#
And now a child lifts the master's bow
D#m C# F# G#
A# moment in time from years ago
[Chorus]
C# D#7 C# D#
Feel his art lift the heart
C# D#7 C#
Sense the spirits rise and fall
F# G#
A# fiddler plays in Donegal
