[Verse 1]
C      G   Am       G           Am
Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief
F          Dm7     C         G           Am
Memories I have of you won’t leave me in peace
   F                C           Dm7           C
My mind was running back to the West Coast of Clare
C        G  Am          G            Am
Thinking of you and the times we had there

I walked the Spanish point, I knew I’d find you there
F              Dm7   C          G            Am
I stood on the white strand and you were everywhere
F               C           Dm7           C
Vivid memories fade but the mood still remains

C           G          Am        G                Am
In Milltown there is a pub, it’s there that I sat down
F              Dm7         C       G    Am
I see you everywhere, your face is all around
F             C          Dm7                 C
The search of times past contains such sweet pain
C           G        Am           G               Am
I’ll banish lonesome thoughts but they’ll return again

[Verse 4] (tin whistle tune from intro played over the top)
C       G   Am              G          Am
I walk along the shore, the rain in my face
F          Dm7       C         G               Am
My mind is numb with grief, of you there is no trace
     F              C         Dm7           C
I’ll think of this again when far off lands I roam
C     G     Am           G         Am
Walking with you by this cold Atlantic foam
