[Verse 1]
E/F# F#m D E F#m
Down past Dunlewey's bonny lakes, one morning I did stray
D E Bm7 C#m F#m C#m
Until I reached sweet Clady banks, where the silvery salmon play
D E Bm7 C#m F#m C#m
I strolled around through old Bunbeg and down along the shore
F#m D F#m D E F#m
And gazed with admiration on the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 2]
E/F# F#m D E F#m
I visit Magherclocher and on Middletown heights I stand
D E Bm7 C#m F#m C#m
Beneath me lies the ocean wide and Machergallon strand
D E Bm7 C#m F#m C#m
Those sandy banks so dear to me, those banks I do adore
F#m D F#m D E F#m
Behind me lies sweet Derrybeg and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Instrumental]
F#m E/F# F#m E/F# D E F#m
[Verse 3]
E/F# F#m D E F#m
The bonny Isle of Gola and Inishmean so near
D E Bm7 C#m F#m C#m
I see the little fishing fleet, as it lies along the pier
D E Bm7 C#m F#m C#m
I wander through the graveyard, where those have gone before
F#m D F#m D E F#m
That once lived happy and content, by the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 4]
E/F# F#m D E F#m
I see sweet Inish Oirthir and far off Tory__ Isle
D E Bm7 C#m F#m C#m
I view the ocean liners as they steam along in style
D E Bm7 C#m F#m C#m
On board are Irish emigrants, with hearts both sad and sore
F#m D F#m D E F#m
As they gazed on old Tir Chonaill hills and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Outro]
