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

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