[Chorus]
D         A7       D
Limerick, you're a lady,

D7   G       Em7                      D
Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow,

    Bm          F#m
The beauty that surrounds you,

  Em7             G                 A7
I take it with me love where e'er I go,

      D             A7              Bm
While waking in the arms of distant waters,

      G            Em7           A7
A new day finds me far away from home,

     D         A7       D
Then Limerick, you're a lady,

D7           Em7         A7        D
The one true love that I have ever known.
[Verse 1]
D                      Dmaj7 G               D
As children you and I, spent endless days of fun,

   G              Em7             D
In winter snow or summer's golden sun,

   Bm                            F#m          Bm
We fished in silver springs, the fabric of my dreams,

    Em7                              G             D7
Was fashioned by your loveliness, and so I have to say,
[Chorus]
D         A7       D
Limerick, you're a lady,

D7   G       Em7                      D
Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow,

    Bm          F#m
The beauty that surrounds you,

  Em7             G                 A7
I take it with me love where e'er I go,

      D             A7              Bm
While waking in the arms of distant waters,

      G            Em7           A7
A new day finds me far away from home,

     D         A7       D
Then Limerick, you're a lady,

D7           Em7         A7        D
The one true love that I have ever known.
[Verse 2]
  D                        Dmaj7 G                  D
A gift that time has made, to    travelers on their way,

G               Em7           D
Seeking out the beauty of our land,

  Bm                              F#m               Bm
A shrine where children pray, and bells ring out to say,

      Em7                                G               D7
Thank God we're living just to feel, the freedom of each day,
[Chorus]
D         A7       D
Limerick, you're a lady,

D7   G       Em7                      D
Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow,

    Bm          F#m
The beauty that surrounds you,

  Em7             G                 A7
I take it with me love where e'er I go,

      D             A7              Bm
While waking in the arms of distant waters,

      G            Em7           A7
A new day finds me far away from home,

     D         A7       D
Then Limerick, you're a lady,

D7           Em7         A7        D
The one true love that I have ever known.
