Introduction:
C F
When the summer day is over
C G7
Its busy cares have flown
C F
I will sit beneath the starlight
C G7 C
With a weary heart alone.
G7 C
Then it rises like a vision
F G7
Sparkling bright it shines for me
C F
My own dear Ellan Vannin
C G7 C
With its green hills by the sea.
C F
Let me hear the ocean murmur
C G7
Let me watch your stormy sky
C F
Then above the emerald waters
C G7 C
Sings the sea-eagle as she flies.
G7 C
Then arising like a vision
F G7
Sparkling bright it shines for me
C F
My own dear Ellan Vannin
C G7 C
With its green hills by the sea.
C F
And in all my times of sorrow
C G7
And on some lonely shore
C F
I'll go back to Ellan Vannin
C G7 C
To my childhood days once more.
