            Song For Ireland  by  Phil Colclough and June Colclough
Covered by Mary Black

CAPO 2nd Fret


VERSE 1:
C               G
Walking all the day
     F    C            F        G           C
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
                   G
Silver-winged they fly
     Dm       Am       F       G        C
They know the call of  freedom in their breasts
F               Gsus       G
Saw Black Head against the sky
     C       Am         C        F      G
With twisted rocks they run down to the sea


CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
  F        G      C      G          Dm     Am       F G  C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land



VERSE 2:
C               G
Talking all the day
     F    C            F     G        C
With true friends who try to make you stay
                  G
Telling jokes and news
 Dm      Am      F        G      C
Singing songs to pass the night away
F                  Gsus   G
Watched the Galway salmon run
     C       Am       C      F      G
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun


CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
  F        G      C      G          Dm     Am       F G  C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land


VERSE 3:
C                G
Drinking all the day
   F   C           F       G       C
In old pubs where fiddlers love to play
                    G
Someone touched the bow
   Dm       Am         F         G         C
He played a reel which seemed so grand and gay
F               Gsus       G
Stood on Dingle Beach and cast
   C    Am      C       F      G
In wild foam we found Atlantic bass


CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
  F        G      C      G          Dm     Am       F G  C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land


VERSE 4:
C               G
Dreaming in the night
  F     C          F      G      C
I saw a land where no one had to fight
               G
Waking in your dawn
  Dm      Am     F       G       C
I saw you crying in the morning light
F               Gsus    G
Lying where the falcons fly
     C         Am       C        F       G
They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky


CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more
  F        G      C      G          Dm       Am       F G  C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and I sang a song for I-re-land
