Verse
C# G# F# A#m
Farewell to the groves of shillelagh and shamrock
C# D#m F# A#m
Farewell to the wee girls of Ireland all 'round
C# G# F# A#m
May your hearts be as merry as ever I would wish them
C# D#m F# A#m
When far, far away across the ocean I'm bound
[Verse 2]
F# D#m G# A#m
Oh, my father is old, and my mother is quite feeble
F# D#m G# A#m G#
To leave their own country, it grieves their heart sore__
F# D#m F# A#m
Oh, the tears in great drops, down their cheeks they are rolling
F# D#m G# A#m F# G#
To think they must die upon some foreign shore
[Verse 3]
C# D#m F# A#m
But what matters to me where my bones may be buried
C# G# F# A#m
If in peace and contentment I can spend my life
C# G# F# A#m
Oh, the green fields of Canada, they daily are blooming
C# D#m F# A#m
And it's there I'll put an end to my miseries and strife
[Verse 4]
F# D#m G# A#m
So pack up your sea-stores and tarry no longer
F# D#m G# A#m G#
Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay__
F# D#m F# A#m
With no taxes or tithes to devour up your wages
F# D#m G# A#m
When you're on the green fields of Canada
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
C# G# F# A#m
The sheep run unshorn, and the land's gone to rushes
C# D#m F# A#m
The handyman is gone, and the winders of creels
C# G# F# A#m
Away across the ocean go journeyman tailors
C# D#m F# A#m
And fiddlers that play out the old mountain reels
[Verse 6]
F# D#m G# A#m
Farewell to the dances in homes now deserted
F# D#m G# A#m G#
When tips struck the lightening in sparks from the floor
F# D#m F# A#m
The paving and crigging of hobnails on flagstones
F# D#m G# A#m F# A#m F#
The tears of the old folk and shouts of encore
[Verse 7]
C# G# F# A#m
For the landlords and bailiffs in vile combination
C# D#m F# A#m
Have forced us from hearthstone and homestead away
C# G# F# A#m
May the crowbar brigade all be doomed to damnation
C# D#m F# A#m
When we're on the green fields of Canada
[Verse 8]
F# D#m G# A#m
And it's now to conclude and to finish my story
F# D#m G# A#m G#
And if e'er friendless Irishmen chance my way__
F# D#m F# A#m
With the best in the house, I will treat him and welcome
F# D#m G# A#m F# A#m F#
At home in the green fields of Canada
