Song For Ireland

D                       A           G   Bm                 G         A               D
Walking all the day near tall towers where falcons build their nest
D                            A             G              Bm     G           A          D
Silver winged they fly.  They know the call of freedom in their breast
G                                           A
Saw Black Head against the sky
         D          Bm          E                        A
With twisted rocks that run down to the sea

(Chorus):
G                       D
Living on your western shore
D                                              A
Soft summer sunsets ask for more
  G                       D          A
I stood by your Atlantic sea
        G         Bm        G   D
And sang a song for Ireland


Talking all the day with true friends who tried to make me stay
Telling jokes and the news, singing songs to pass the night away
Stood on Dingle Beach and cast 
In wild foam and found Atlantic Bass

(Chorus)

Drinking all the day in old pubs where fiddlers love to play
Someone touched a bow.  He played a reel that seemed so grand and gay
Watched the Galway salmon run
Like silver, dancing, darting in the sun

(Chorus)

Dreaming in the night I saw a land where no man had to fight
Waking in your dawn I saw you crying in the morning light
Lying where the falcons fly
They twist and turn all in your rare blue sky

(Chorus)
