Intro

[Verse 1]
C/D Dm A# C Dm
Down past Dunlewey's bonny lakes, one morning I did stray
A# C Gm7 Am Dm Am
Until I reached sweet Clady banks, where the silvery salmon play
A# C Gm7 Am Dm Am
I strolled around through old Bunbeg and down along the shore
Dm A# Dm A# C Dm
And gazed with admiration on the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 2]
C/D Dm A# C Dm
I visit Magherclocher and on Middletown heights I stand
A# C Gm7 Am Dm Am
Beneath me lies the ocean wide and Machergallon strand
A# C Gm7 Am Dm Am
Those sandy banks so dear to me, those banks I do adore
Dm A# Dm A# C Dm
Behind me lies sweet Derrybeg and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Instrumental]
Dm C/D Dm C/D A# C Dm
[Verse 3]
C/D Dm A# C Dm
The bonny Isle of Gola and Inishmean so near
A# C Gm7 Am Dm Am
I see the little fishing fleet, as it lies along the pier
A# C Gm7 Am Dm Am
I wander through the graveyard, where those have gone before
Dm A# Dm A# C Dm
That once lived happy and content, by the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 4]
C/D Dm A# C Dm
I see sweet Inish Oirthir and far off Tory__ Isle
A# C Gm7 Am Dm Am
I view the ocean liners as they steam along in style
A# C Gm7 Am Dm Am
On board are Irish emigrants, with hearts both sad and sore
Dm A# Dm A# C Dm
As they gazed on old Tir Chonaill hills and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
