Gordon Bok – Connemara Cradle Song (Guitar)

                                        E
The currachs are sailing way out on the blue

                              A
Laden with herring of silvery hue

                                  E
Silver the herring and silver the sea

                                        A
Soon there'll be silver for my love and me

                                        E
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow

                                      A
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

                                            E
On wings of the wind, o'er the deep rolling sea

                                A
Angels are coming to watch over thee

                                E
Angels are coming to watch over thee

                                     A
So hark to the winds coming over the sea

                                        E
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow

                                      A
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

                                         E
Oh, winds of the night, may your fury be crossed

                                        A
May no one that's dear to our island be lost

                                  E
Blow the wind gently, calm be the foam

                                          A
Shine the light brightly to guide us back home

                                        E
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow

                                      A
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

                                        E
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow

                                      A
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

                                      E
The currachs are sailing out over the sea

                                   A
Laden with herring for my love and me
