Am                              C
Oh I wish I was in limerick town

Am                              C
Where the river winds past the ridges down

Am                              C
And the little lanes lead to the gathering crowd

Am                              C
In the light fall of the spring evening

Am                              C
For among its streets a love I’ve found

Am                              C
Oh, of a girl from a northern town

Am                              C
And ill never see your streets no more

Am                              C
So full of my sad thoughts of her
(Chorus)
Am                              C
And if you ever go to limerick town

Am                              C
Where the river winds past the ridges down

Am                              C
Will you seek the good friends there I found

Am                              C
And will you tell them I was asking

Am                              C
For them

Am                              C
Da-da-dee-da-da- da- daa-daa-down

Am                              C
La da dee da da da- daa-daa-down

Am                              C
La da dee da da da- daa-daa-down

Am                              C
La da dee da da da- daa-daa-down
Verse 2 Oh watch the rain drift over raheen Or the river head a deep mist Oh dusk has fallen over you Georgian streets for if ever we should chance to meet Choras And if you ever go to limerick town Where the river winds past the ridges down Will you seek the good friends there I found And will you tell them I was asking For them Da-da-dee-da-da- da- daa-daa-da000
