Introduction:

             G                                                                                    D7  
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland
                                                                                          G  
Then maybe at the closing of your day
                                                                                                                C  
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
          D7                                                                         G  
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay
                                                                                                        D7  
Just to hear again the rippling of the trout stream
                                                                                                G  
See the women in the meadows making hay
                                                                                                  C  
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin
          D7                                                                                            G  
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play
                                                                                                                        D7  
For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way
                                                                                                  G  
They scorn us just for being what we are
                                                                                                          C  
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
        D7                                                                    G  
Or light a penny candle from a star
                                                                                          D7  
And if there's going to be a life hereafter
                                                                                                        G  
And somehow I am sure there's going to be
                                                                                                C  
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
        D7                                                                              G  
In that dear land across the Irish sea
                        D7                                                                              G  
So I can watch the sun go down on Galway Bay
