G G7 C Am D D7 G D7
G G7 C Am I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer D D7 G D7 And I've no doubt, there's truth in what they say G G7 C Am But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer D D7 G D7 When all the things he loves are far away G G7 C Am And precious things are dreams unto an exile D D7 G D7 They take him o'er the land across the sea G G7 C Am Especially when it happens he's an exile D D7 G G7 From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree C C G G And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops A A7 D D7 Of this great city, wondrous tho' it be G G7 C Am I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter D D7 G D7 I'm once again, back home in Innisfree
G G7 C Am D D7 G D7
G G7 C Am D D7 G D7
G G7 C Am I wander o'er green hills, through dreamy valleys D D7 G D7 And find a peace no other land could know G G7 C Am I hear the birds make music fit for angels D D7 G D7 And watch the rivers laughing as they flow G G7 C Am And then into a humble shack I wander D D7 G D7 My dear old home, I tenderly behold G G7 C Am The folks I love, around the turf-fire, gathered D D7 G G7 On bended knee the rosary is told C C G G But dreams don't last, though dreams are not forgotten A A7 D D7 And soon I'm back to stern reality G G C Am But though they pave the footpaths here with gold-dust D D7 G D7 I still would choose my Isle of Innisfree G G7 C Am I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter D D7 G G7 I'm once again, back home in Innisfree D D7 G C G I still would choose my Isle of Innisfree
