Song For Ireland by Mary Black CAPO 2nd Fret VERSE 1: C G Walking all the day F C F G C Near tall towers where falcons build their nests G Silver-winged they fly Dm Am F G C They know the call of freedom in their breasts F Gsus G Saw Black Head against the sky C Am C F G With twisted rocks they run down to the sea CHORUS: F G C Am C F G Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more F G C G Dm Am F G C I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land VERSE 2: C G Talking all the day F C F G C With true friends who try to make you stay G Telling jokes and news Dm Am F G C Singing songs to pass the night away F Gsus G Watched the Galway salmon run C Am C F G Like silver dancing, darting in the sun CHORUS: F G C Am C F G Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more F G C G Dm Am F G C I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land VERSE 3: C G Drinking all the day F C F G C In old pubs where fiddlers love to play G Someone touched the bow Dm Am F G C He played a reel which seemed so grand and gay F Gsus G Stood on Dingle Beach and cast C Am C F G In wild foam we found Atlantic bass CHORUS: F G C Am C F G Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more F G C G Dm Am F G C I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land VERSE 4: C G Dreaming in the night F C F G C I saw a land where no one had to fight G Waking in your dawn Dm Am F G C I saw you crying in the morning light F Gsus G Lying where the falcons fly C Am C F G They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky CHORUS: F G C Am C F G Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more F G C G Dm Am F G C I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and I sang a song for I-re-land
