[Verse 1]
F/G Gm D# F Gm
Down past Dunlewey's bonny lakes, one morning I did stray
D# F Cm7 Dm Gm Dm
Until I reached sweet Clady banks, where the silvery salmon play
D# F Cm7 Dm Gm Dm
I strolled around through old Bunbeg and down along the shore
Gm D# Gm D# F Gm
And gazed with admiration on the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 2]
F/G Gm D# F Gm
I visit Magherclocher and on Middletown heights I stand
D# F Cm7 Dm Gm Dm
Beneath me lies the ocean wide and Machergallon strand
D# F Cm7 Dm Gm Dm
Those sandy banks so dear to me, those banks I do adore
Gm D# Gm D# F Gm
Behind me lies sweet Derrybeg and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Instrumental]
Gm F/G Gm F/G D# F Gm
[Verse 3]
F/G Gm D# F Gm
The bonny Isle of Gola and Inishmean so near
D# F Cm7 Dm Gm Dm
I see the little fishing fleet, as it lies along the pier
D# F Cm7 Dm Gm Dm
I wander through the graveyard, where those have gone before
Gm D# Gm D# F Gm
That once lived happy and content, by the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 4]
F/G Gm D# F Gm
I see sweet Inish Oirthir and far off Tory__ Isle
D# F Cm7 Dm Gm Dm
I view the ocean liners as they steam along in style
D# F Cm7 Dm Gm Dm
On board are Irish emigrants, with hearts both sad and sore
Gm D# Gm D# F Gm
As they gazed on old Tir Chonaill hills and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
