Eyes Of Ireland

Dm                  Bb          F
Listen now boys, my grandmother said -
     Gm          Dm       C           Dm
I'll tell you a story and then off to bed.
Dm                  Bb          F
There once was a time, we lived of the land,
Gm            Dm           C          Dm    C  Am  Dm  Dm  C  Am  Dm
Harvest would come, and we all lent a hand.

    Dm                        Bb            F
But winds blew our lives, and scattered our seeds
Gm           Dm              C          Dm
Changing the landscape, from flowers to weeds
Dm                       Bb       F
See in the graveyard the families gone
    Gm          Dm         C          Dm
The grandest of tombstones carry them on

         Bb   F        Am7
When you sail from the Harbour
          Bb   F       Dm       C  Am  Dm  Dm  C  Am  Dm
It's your last eyes of Ireland

Dm                  Bb          F
We tended the fire, and faeries appeased
     Gm          Dm       C           Dm
The flames never died until we had to leave.
Dm                  Bb          F
And when we were gone, the house tumbled down
    Gm           Dm             C            Dm
And covered our footprints, we'd left on the ground

         Bb   F        Am7
When you sail from the Harbour
          Bb   F       Dm       C  Am  Dm  Dm  C  Am  Dm
It's your last eyes of Ireland

( C  Dm  Bb  Am  )

Dm                  Bb          F
My eyes are now tired and no longer see
     Gm          Dm       C           Dm
But visions of Ireland linger in me
Dm                  Bb          F
So carry your past in the rooms of your heart
     Gm          Dm       C           Dm
And you'll never be empty of love when you part

         Bb   F        Am7
When you sail from the Harbour
          Bb   F       Dm     C  Am  Dm  Dm  C  Am  Dm
It's your last eyes of Ireland
