Verse
N.C.
Far, far from the isle of the holy and grand
Where wild oxen fatten and brave men are banned
N.C.
All lonely and lone in a far distant land
Do I wander and pine for poor Éireann
[Chorus]
N.C. G A D Em A Bm
Lonely and sad I roam, far from my native home
A D E F#m
Where the wild waves surging foam, headlands appearing
Em A F#m E
Clouded in silver spray, flashing through heaven's bright ray
D Bm A
For thy glory and pride, lovely Éireann
[Verse 2]
N.C. A F#m D E
Sweet, sweet Inis Cathaigh, the sacred, the blessed
D Bm G E
Fit place for a saint or a warrior's rest
A F#m D E
Your sentinel towers left each storm repressed
D Bm E A
Your mourning waves wail for my Éireann
[Verse 3]
N.C. A F#m D E
There is nothing now left, holy isle, but thy name
D Bm G E
The ruin of thy glory, thy grandeur, thy fame
A F#m D E
For foreign laws see thy sadness and pain
D Bm E A
That now cause thy anguish, my Éireann
[Chorus]
G A D Em A Bm
Lonely and sad I roam, far from my island home
A D E F#m
Where the wild waves surging foam, headlands appearing
Em A F#m E
Clouded in silver spray, flashing through heaven's bright ray
D Bm A
For thy glory and pride, lovely Éireann
[Verse 4]
N.C.A F#m D E
How dearly I longed for to wander once more
D Bm G E
To the loved ones I left at my old cabin door
A F#m D E
My blessings I'd given a thousand times o'er
D Bm E A
And a prayer and a tear for poor Éireann
[Verse 5]
N.C. A F#m D E
Sad, sad is my fate in this weary exile
D Bm G E
Dark, dark is the night cloud o'er lone Shanakyle
A F#m D E
Where the murdered sleep silently pile upon pile
D Bm E A
In the coffinless graves of poor Éireann
[Chorus]
G A D Em A Bm
Lonely and sad I roam, far from my island home
A D E F#m
Where the wild waves surging foam, headlands appearing
Em A F#m E
Clouded in silver spray, flashing through heaven's bright ray
D Bm A
For thy glory and pride, lovely Éireann
