Song For Ireland by Phil Colclough and June Colclough Covered by Mary Black VERSE 1:
C               G
Walking all the day

     F    C            F        G           C
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests

                   G
Silver-winged they fly

     Dm       Am       F       G        C
They know the call of  freedom in their breasts

F               Gsus       G
Saw Black Head against the sky

     C       Am         C        F      G
With twisted rocks they run down to the sea
CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more

  F        G      C      G          Dm     Am       F G  C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land
VERSE 2:
C               G
Talking all the day

     F    C            F     G        C
With true friends who try to make you stay

                  G
Telling jokes and news

 Dm      Am      F        G      C
Singing songs to pass the night away

F                  Gsus   G
Watched the Galway salmon run

     C       Am       C      F      G
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun
CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more

  F        G      C      G          Dm     Am       F G  C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land
VERSE 3:
C                G
Drinking all the day

   F   C           F       G       C
In old pubs where fiddlers love to play

                    G
Someone touched the bow

   Dm       Am         F         G         C
He played a reel which seemed so grand and gay

F               Gsus       G
Stood on Dingle Beach and cast

   C    Am      C       F      G
In wild foam we found Atlantic bass
CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more

  F        G      C      G          Dm     Am       F G  C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and sang a song for I-re-land
VERSE 4:
C               G
Dreaming in the night

  F     C          F      G      C
I saw a land where no one had to fight

               G
Waking in your dawn

  Dm      Am     F       G       C
I saw you crying in the morning light

F               Gsus    G
Lying where the falcons fly

     C         Am       C        F       G
They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky
CHORUS:
F      G        C      Am                C        F         G
Living on your western shore, saw summer sunsets, asked for more

  F        G      C      G          Dm       Am       F G  C
I stood by your Atlantic Sea, - and I sang a song for I-re-land
