And [C] fare thee well to Ireland,
The [Bb] land of my [F] native [C] home
It [F] breaks my [C] heart for to see friends part,
For it’s then the teardrops [Bb] fall
I’m [F] on my [C] way to Amerikay,
Will I ever see home once [Bb] more?
For I’m [C] leaving behind, the one I love,
On [Bb] Paddy’s green [F] shamrock [C] shore
The [C] ship she lies at anchor,
She’s [Bb] standing [F] by the [C] quay
May [F] fortune [C] bright shine down each night
As we sail over the [Bb] sea
Many [F] ships have been [C] lost, many lives it has cost
On the journey that lies be-[Bb]fore
With a [C] tear in my eye I’m bidding goodbye
To [Bb] Paddy’s green [F] shamrock [C] shore
So [C] fare thee well my own true love,
I’ll [Bb] think of you [F] night and [C] day
And a [F] place in my [C] mind, you surely will find,
Although I am far a-[Bb]way
Though [F] I’ll be a-[C]lone, far away from home,
I’ll think of the good times once [Bb] more
Until [C] the day I can make my way back
To [Bb] Paddy’s green [F] shamrock [C] shore
And [C] now the ship is on the wave
May [Bb] heaven [F] protect us [C] all
With the [F] wind in our [C] sail we surely can’t fail
On the voyage to Balti-[Bb]more
My pa-[F]rents and [C] friends, they did wave till the end,
Till I could see them no [Bb] more
Then [C] I took a chance, took one last glance
At [Bb] Paddy’s green [F] shamrock [C] shore
{c: slow and Fade to end}
Then [C] I took a chance, took one last glance
At [Bb] Paddy’s green [F] shamrock [C] shore
