[Verse 1]
A/B Bm G A Bm
Down past Dunlewey's bonny lakes, one morning I did stray
G A Em7 F#m Bm F#m
Until I reached sweet Clady banks, where the silvery salmon play
G A Em7 F#m Bm F#m
I strolled around through old Bunbeg and down along the shore
Bm G Bm G A Bm
And gazed with admiration on the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 2]
A/B Bm G A Bm
I visit Magherclocher and on Middletown heights I stand
G A Em7 F#m Bm F#m
Beneath me lies the ocean wide and Machergallon strand
G A Em7 F#m Bm F#m
Those sandy banks so dear to me, those banks I do adore
Bm G Bm G A Bm
Behind me lies sweet Derrybeg and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Instrumental]
Bm A/B Bm A/B G A Bm
[Verse 3]
A/B Bm G A Bm
The bonny Isle of Gola and Inishmean so near
G A Em7 F#m Bm F#m
I see the little fishing fleet, as it lies along the pier
G A Em7 F#m Bm F#m
I wander through the graveyard, where those have gone before
Bm G Bm G A Bm
That once lived happy and content, by the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 4]
A/B Bm G A Bm
I see sweet Inish Oirthir and far off Tory__ Isle
G A Em7 F#m Bm F#m
I view the ocean liners as they steam along in style
G A Em7 F#m Bm F#m
On board are Irish emigrants, with hearts both sad and sore
Bm G Bm G A Bm
As they gazed on old Tir Chonaill hills and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
