Bing Crosby – That Tumble Down Shack In Athlone (Guitar)

      G          D            G            D
Oh! I want to go back to that tumble down shack,

          Em          A                D7
Where the wild roses bloom 'round the door,

        C                       D            Em
Just to pillow my head, in that ould trundle bed,

      A                          D
Just to see my ould mother once more.

          G               D              G          D
There's a bright gleaming light, guiding me home tonight,

          G           Bm            Em
Down the long road of white cobble stone,

         C               D             G           Em
Down the road that leads back, to that tumble down shack,

        C           D           G
To that tumble down shack in Athlone.

      D             G           D             G
I'm a long way from home and my thoughts ever roam

        Em       G        A     D
To ould Erin far over the sea,

       C           G                C            G
For my heart it is there, where the skies are so fair

         Em         A            D
And ould Ireland is calling for me.

          G               D              G         D
There's a bright gleaming light, guiding me home tonight,

         G            Bm           Em
Down the long road of white cobble stone,

         C               D             G           Em
Down the road that leads back, to that tumble down shack,

        C           D           G
To that tumble down shack in Athlone.

           G            D            G           D
There are eyes that are sad, as they watch for a lad,

       E             A          D7
In the old fashioned town of Athlone,

      C                          D       Em
And I pray for the day, when I'm sailing away,

        A                       D
To ould Ireland, and mother, my own.

          G               D              G          D
There's a bright gleaming light, guiding me home tonight,

         G            Bm           Em
Down the long road of white cobble stone,

         C               D             G           Em
Down the road that leads back, to that tumble down shack,

        C           D            G
To that tumble down shack in Athlone.
