[Verse 1]
D/E Em C D Em
Down past Dunlewey's bonny lakes, one morning I did stray
C D Am7 Bm Em Bm
Until I reached sweet Clady banks, where the silvery salmon play
C D Am7 Bm Em Bm
I strolled around through old Bunbeg and down along the shore
Em C Em C D Em
And gazed with admiration on the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 2]
D/E Em C D Em
I visit Magherclocher and on Middletown heights I stand
C D Am7 Bm Em Bm
Beneath me lies the ocean wide and Machergallon strand
C D Am7 Bm Em Bm
Those sandy banks so dear to me, those banks I do adore
Em C Em C D Em
Behind me lies sweet Derrybeg and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D/E Em C D Em
The bonny Isle of Gola and Inishmean so near
C D Am7 Bm Em Bm
I see the little fishing fleet, as it lies along the pier
C D Am7 Bm Em Bm
I wander through the graveyard, where those have gone before
Em C Em C D Em
That once lived happy and content, by the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 4]
D/E Em C D Em
I see sweet Inish Oirthir and far off Tory__ Isle
C D Am7 Bm Em Bm
I view the ocean liners as they steam along in style
C D Am7 Bm Em Bm
On board are Irish emigrants, with hearts both sad and sore
Em C Em C D Em
As they gazed on old Tir Chonaill hills and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
