fingerpicking the song.

Christy uses some variations on the high e-string and on the rute notes to make
the song softer. i didnt figure them out, but i'm sure you can by just trying. ah
and the song's in 3/4!
[Verse 1]
G C F G
You may travel far far from your own native home
C G C
Far away o'er the mountains far away o'er the foam
C G Am
But of all the fine places that I've ever seen,
C F G
There's none to compare with The Cliffs of Dooneen
[Verse 2]
G C F G
Take a view o'er the water fine sights you'll see there
C G C
You'll see the high rocky slopes on the West coast of Clare
C G Am
The towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen
C F G
From the high rocky slopes at The Cliffs of Dooneen
[Verse 3]
G C F G
It's a nice place to be on a fine Summer's day
C G C
Watching all the wild flowers that ne'er do decay
C G Am
The hare and lofty pheasant are plain to be seen
C F G
Making homes for their young round The Cliffs of Dooneen
[Verse 4]
G C F G
Fare thee well to Dooneen fare thee well for a while
C G C
And to all the fine people I'm leaving behind
C G Am
To the streams and the meadows where late I have been
C F G
And the high rocky slopes of The Cliffs of Dooneen
