C                 D           G
I wish that I was home in Donegal
   C             D        
To be with you beside the sea
   Em                    C            
To hear your sweet voice calling me
G          D           G             
Back to my home in Donegal

   G              Am             D                  
He walks upon the streets of New Orleans
           G             Am        
There is a strange and unfamiliar look
   C             D      
To every face he sees.
   C                 D
He came here for the money
    G         C       Am        
The adventure and the craic
    G            Am      
Now all he ever thinks about
   D             G         
Is someday going back

   G              Am         D 
He misses all his family and friends
        G                    Am    
There's times when he'd give all he has
        C            D      
Just to be with them again
C                     D
Before the young ones move away
G                 C   Am        
The old ones are all gone.
G                     Am      
Before his heart can realize
     D             G         
He's been away too long.

   G                    Am              D 
Sometimes he lays there dreaming in the night
         G            Am    
To get a job of extra work
               C             D      
He?ll save the money for the flight
    C                D
But lonely dreams in darkness
   G      C          Am        
disappear before the dawn
G              Am      
Familiar faces fade away
D                  G         
All the dreams are gone.
