Verse 1
G                                    C     | Am | 
1. I've met some folk that say I am a dream-er 

             D             D7                 G 
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say

    G                             C     | Am | 
But sure a body's bound to be a dream-er

               D          D7                 G 
When all the things he loves are far a-way 
Verse 2
    G                                    C     | Am | 
2. And prec-ious things are dreams unto an e-xile 

               D          D7                 G 
They take him o'er the land a-cross the sea 

    G                                 C     | Am | 
Especially when it hap-pens he's an exile 

               D          D7                 G   G7  
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree 
Bridge:
              C                             G 
And when the moon-light peeps a-cross the roof tops 

A                                  D | D7 | 
Of this great city wondrous tho it be 

    G                                 C     | Am | 
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter 

               D          D7       G 
I'm once a-gain back home in Innisfree 
| G | C | C | G | Verse 3:
    G                                    C     | Am | 
3. I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys 

               D          D7                 G 
And find a peace no other land would know 

            G                          C     | Am | 
I hear the birds make mu-sic fit for an-gels

               D          D7                 G 
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow 
Verse 4:
    G                                  C     | Am | 
4. And then in-to a humble shack I wander 

               D          D7                 G 
My dear old home and tenderly behold 

    G                                    C     | Am | 
The folks I love a-round the turf fire gathered 

               D          D7                 G   | G7 | 
On bend-ed knee their Rosary is told 

                  C                          G 
But dreams don't last though dreams are not forgotten 

             A                 D | D7 | 
And soon I'm back to stern reality 

                 G                              C     | Am | 
But though they pave the foot-paths here with gold dust 

               D          D7                 G 
I still would choose my Isle of In-nis-free
