Misc Traditional – When Irish Eyes Are Smiling (Guitar)

          C                        F        C
There's a tear in your eye, and I'm wondering why

G7     C                        G
For it never should be there at all

          G7
With such power in your smile

       C     G/B   C   A7
Sure a stone you'd bequile

           D7                      G7
So there's never a teardrop should fall

          C                             F          C
When your sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song

G7       C            C7            F
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be

           D7                          G G   D/F#   Em
You should laugh all the while and all other times smile

        D7                G
And now smile a smile for me

     C                                  F              C
When Irish eyes are smiling, sure'n tis like a morn in spring

F                    C        A7      D7              G
In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing

     C                      C7      F                   C
When Irish hearts are happy All the world seems bright and gay

F              C-       C    A7           D7         G7    C
And when Irish eyes are smiling Sure they steal your heart away

         C                       F            C
For your smile is a part, of the love in your heart

G7     C                        G
And it makes even sunshine more bright

         G7
Like the linnet's sweet song

         C   G/B  C   A7
Crooning all the day long

           D7           G7
Comes your laughter and light

        C                           F          C
For the springtime of life, is the sweetest of all

G7           C                       F
And there is ne'er a real care or regret

          F
And while springtime is ours

           C    G/B  C     A7
Throughout all of youth's hours

       D7                   G
Let us smile each chance we get

     C                                  F              C
When Irish eyes are smiling, sure'n tis like a morn in spring
