Chords

        G              C              G
I was dreaming of old Ireland and Killarneys lakes and fells,

        C               G               A                D7
I was dreaming of the shamrock and the dear old Shandon Bells,

         G           C           G
When my memories suggested in a vision bright and clear,

           C                       G            D               G
All the strange things that would happen if we had old Ireland here.
[Chorus]
         G                  C             G
If the Blarney stone stood out in Sidney Harbour,

     C                                G
And Dublin Town to Melbourne came to stay,

                      C                   G
If the Shannon River joined the Brisbane Waters,

        A                                D
And Killarneys lakes flowed into Botany Bay,

         G                 C             G
If the Shandon Bells rang out in old Fremantle,

      C                            G
And County Cork in Adelaide did appear,

        Em                             G
Erin's sons would never roam, all the boys would stay at home,

       G            D            G
If we only had old Ireland over here.

           G              C              G
There are lots of lovely Faeries dancin' on the village green,

           C              G            A           D7
There are lots of lovely Cailíns, the finest ever seen,

           G                   C              G
Where the boys are all called Paddy, and the girls called Molly Dear,

           C                   G                 D               G
Sure we'd wrap the green flag round them, if we had old Ireland here
[Chorus]
         G                  C             G
If the Blarney stone stood out in Sidney Harbour,

     C                                G
And Dublin Town to Melbourne came to stay,

                      C                   G
If the Shannon River joined the Brisbane Waters,

        A                                D
And Killarneys lakes flowed into Botany Bay,

         G                 C             G
If the Shandon Bells rang out in old Fremantle,

      C                            G
And County Cork in Adelaide did appear,

        Em                             G
Erin's sons would never roam, all the boys would stay at home,

       G            D            G
If we only had old Ireland over here.
