Introduction:
G G7 C Am
I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer
D D7 G D7
And I've no doubt, there's truth in what they say
G G7 C Am
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
D D7 G D7
When all the things he loves are far away
G G7 C Am
And precious things are dreams unto an exile
D D7 G D7
They take him o'er the land across the sea
G G7 C Am
Especially when it happens he's an exile
D D7 G G7
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree
C G
And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops
A A7 D D7
Of this great city, wondrous tho' it be
G G7 C Am
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
D D7 G D7
I'm once again, back home in Innisfree
G G7 C Am
I wander o'er green hills, through dreamy valleys
D D7 G D7
And find a peace no other land could know
G G7 C Am
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
D D7 G D7
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow
G G7 C Am
And then into a humble shack I wander
D D7 G D7
My dear old home, I tenderly behold
G G7 C Am
The folks I love, around the turf-fire, gathered
D D7 G G7
On bended knee the rosary is told
C G
But dreams don't last, though dreams are not forgotten
A A7 D D7
And soon I'm back to stern reality
G C Am
But though they pave the footpaths here with gold-dust
D D7 G D7
I still would choose my Isle of Innisfree
G G7 C Am
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
D D7 G G7
I'm once again, back home in Innisfree
D D7 G C G
I still would choose my Isle of Innisfree
