The Green Fields Of Gaothdobhair

Am  G/A  Am  G/A  F   G Am

[Verse 1]

             G/A     Am               F         G   Am
Down past Dunlewey's bonny lakes, one morning I did stray
  F     G             Dm7   Em               Am             Em
Until I reached sweet Clady banks, where the silvery salmon play
  F         G             Dm7    Em      Am             Em
I strolled around through old Bunbeg and down along the shore
    Am         F   Am            F               G      Am
And gazed with admiration on the green fields of Gaothdobhair


[Verse 2]

        G/A   Am             F                  G Am
I visit Magherclocher and on Middletown heights I stand
  F        G        Dm7   Em       Am           Em
Beneath me lies the ocean wide and Machergallon strand
      F     G        Dm7     Em        Am          Em
Those sandy banks so dear to me, those banks I do adore
  Am      F          Am               F               G      Am
Behind me lies sweet Derrybeg and the green fields of Gaothdobhair

[Verse 3]

          G/A     Am       F         G  Am
The bonny Isle of Gola and Inishmean so near
  F       G      Dm7     Em           Am             Em
I see the little fishing fleet, as it lies along the pier
  F      G           Dm7        Em    Am                Em
I wander through the graveyard, where those have gone before
     Am         F     Am                  F               G      Am
That once lived happy and content, by the green fields of Gaothdobhair



[Verse 4]

            G/A      Am       F           G  Am
I see sweet Inish Oirthir and far off Tory__ Isle
  F        G     Dm7    Em      Am             Em
I view the ocean liners as they steam along in style
   F         G     Dm7 Em          Am                  Em
On board are Irish emigrants, with hearts both sad and sore
        Am       F       Am                     F               G      Am
As they gazed on old Tir Chonaill hills and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
