[Chorus]
 G                                      D
Take me home to mayo, across the Irish sea,

                             D7               G
Home to dear old Mayo where once I roamed so free,

                                       C
Take me home to Mayo, and let my body lie,

                   G      D         D7    G
Home at last in  Mayo,  beneath an Irish sky.
[Verse 1]
    G                                       D
My name is Michael Gaughin, from Ballina I came,

                                 D7                  G
I saw my country suffering, and swore to break the chains,

                                                    C
I raised the flag in England, prepared to fight or die,

               G      D         D7    G
Far away from Mayo, beneath an Irish sky.
[Chorus]
 G                                      D
Take me home to mayo, across the Irish sea,

                             D7               G
Home to dear old Mayo where once I roamed so free,

                                       C
Take me home to Mayo, and let my body lie,

                   G      D         D7    G
Home at last in  Mayo,  beneath an Irish sky.
[Verse 2]
    G                                        D
My body cold and hungry,in Parkhurst jail I lie,

                                   D7             G
For the loving of my country, on hunger strike I die,

                                                  C
I have just one last longing, I pray you'll not deny,

            G       D        D7    G
Bury me in Mayo, beneath an Irish sky.
[Chorus]
 G                                      D
Take me home to mayo, across the Irish sea,

                             D7               G
Home to dear old Mayo where once I roamed so free,

                                       C
Take me home to Mayo, and let my body lie,

                   G      D         D7    G
Home at last in  Mayo,  beneath an Irish sky.
