Donegal

F                 G           C
I wish that I was home in Donegal
   F             G
To be with you beside the sea
   Am                    F
To hear your sweet voice calling me
C          G           C
Back to my home in Donegal

   C              Dm             G
He walks upon the streets of New Orleans
           C             Dm
There is a strange and unfamiliar look
   F             G
To every face he sees.
   F                 G
He came here for the money
    C         F       Dm
The adventure and the craic
    C            Dm
Now all he ever thinks about
   G             C
Is someday going back

   C              Dm         G
He misses all his family and friends
        C                    Dm
There's times when he'd give all he has
        F            G
Just to be with them again
F                     G
Before the young ones move away
C                 F   Dm
The old ones are all gone.
C                     Dm
Before his heart can realize
     G             C
He's been away too long.

   C                    Dm              G
Sometimes he lays there dreaming in the night
         C            Dm
To get a job of extra work
               F             G
He?ll save the money for the flight
    F                G
But lonely dreams in darkness
   C      F          Dm
disappear before the dawn
C              Dm
Familiar faces fade away
G                  C
All the dreams are gone.
