Teir Abhaile Riu

Bb Fm

[Verse]
Bbm
Look how the light of the town
Bbm
The lights of the town are shining now
Bbm
Tonight I'll be dancing around
Bbm
I'm off on the road to Galway now
Bbm
Look how she's off on the town
Bbm
She's off on a search for sailors though
                                Ab
There's fine fellas here to be found
                 Bb              Gm
She's never been one to stay at home

Gm
Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay
                                F
And you've work to do in the morning
Gm
Give up your dream of going away
                         C
Forget your sailors in Galway
Gm
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
                   F
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Gm
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Eb

Bbm
Come now and follow me down
Down to the lights of Galway where
Bbm
There's fine sailors walking the town
And waiting to meet the ladies there
Bbm
Watch now he'll soon be along
He's finer than any sailor so
Bbm
Come on now pick up your spoons
Bbm
He's waiting to hear you play them WHOOO!

Gm
Here today and she's gone tomorrow
                         Fm
And next she's going to Galway
Gm
Jiggin' around and off to town
                          C
And won't be back until morning

Gm
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
                    F
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Gm               Bb
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
                     C
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Db
Off with a spring in my step
The sailors are searching Galway for
   Bbm
A young lady such as myself
For reels and jigs and maybe more
Stay here and never you mind
     Ebm
The lights of the town are blinding you
                 Db
The sailors they come and they go
      Gb
But listen to what's reminding you
Ab
Handsome men surrounding you
Bbm                    F
Dancing a reel around you

Gm
Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay
                                F
And you've work to do in the morning
Gm
Give up your dream of going away
                         C
Forget your sailors in Galway


Gm
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
                    F
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Gm
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
                     C
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

E              D
Listen to the music flow
     F                       Cm
I'm falling for the flow of home
     Eb                  D
I'm home to dance till dawning

Gm
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
                   F
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Gm
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
                     C
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Gm
Stay a while and we'll dance together now
                  F
As the light is falling
Gm
We'll reel away till the break of day
                         C
And dance together till morning

Gm
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
                      C
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta

Gm
Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
                     Eb
Mar tá do mhargadh déanta
Do Mhargadh de - do mhargadh déanta
