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

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