------------------------------------------------- Verse 1 --------
Dm                  Bb          F
Listen now boys, my grandmother said 

     Gm          Dm   C           Dm
I'll tell you a story then off to bed.

Dm                  Bb           F
Once was a time, we lived of the land,

Gm            Dm           C          Dm    C  Am  Dm  Dm  C  Am  Dm
Harvest would come, and we all lent a hand. [riff repeated twice]
------------------------------------------------- Verse 2 --------
Dm                        Bb            F
Winds blew our lives, and scattered our seeds.

Gm           Dm              C          Dm
Changing the landscape, from flowers to weeds.

Dm                       Bb       F
See in the graveyard the families gone.

    Gm          Dm         C          Dm
The grandest of tombstones carry them on...
------------------------------------------------- Chorus -------
         Bb   F        Am
When you sail from the Harbour,

          Bb   F       Dm       C  Am  Dm  Dm  C  Am  Dm
It's your last eyes of Ireland. [riff repeated twice]
------------------------------------------------- Verse 3 --------
   Dm                   Bb      F
We tended the fire, and fairies appeased

    Gm          Dm         C         Dm
The flame never died until we had to leave.

Dm                     Bb            F
When we were gone, the house tumbled down

Gm          Dm               C           Dm
Covered our footprints, we'd left on the ground.
------------------------------------------------- Chorus -------
         Bb   F        Am
When you sail from the Harbour,

          Bb   F       Dm       C  Am  Dm  Dm  C  Am  Dm
It's your last eyes of Ireland. [riff repeated twice]

   Dm                     Bb        F
My eyes are now tired and no longer see.

    Gm         Dm      C         Dm
But visions of Ireland linger in me.

   Dm                     Bb            F
So carry your past in the rooms of your heart

           Dm                C             Dm
and you'll never be empty of love when you part.
------------------------------------------------- Chorus -------

Your last eyes of Ireland. [riff repeated twice]
