Chords

song is in standard tuning, the way i hear it christy uses chordvariations while fingerpicking the song. anyway, an easy overview over the chords used:
     G     C     F     Am

A x 3 x 0 D 0 2 3 2 G 0 0 2 2 B 3 1 1 1 e 3 3 3 0 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

You'll see the high rocky slopes on the West coast of Clare

The towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen

From the high rocky slopes at The Cliffs of Dooneen
[Verse 3]

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]

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
