Nanci Griffith – I Would Bring You Ireland (Guitar)

C                   Dm   
[tab]C                   Dm
The cool sweet of the Dublin rain

C                   Dm
If you would keep my heart for me

C                   Dm
In the quiet of your Texas days

G
And my old friend, will you shelter me from

C
pain

     F                   Dm C
In return I'd bring you Ireland

C                     Dm
One day I'll build a tower

C             Dm
High upon my Texas plains

C              Dm
I can see from coast to coast

   C                    Dm
On hot platinum summer days

           G
When the dust is still, and the cotton

        C
prays for rain

          Dm
And the thirsty passers-by wonder why they

C
came

C                 Dm
I dreamed of Amarillo

C                     Dm
On a foreign night in Dublin

C                   Dm
The dust was on my pillow

         C                  Dm
When the raindrops started falling

G
In a hotel window, where I could see his

C
rainbow

        G
And I thought I'd send my heart to you

                         C
Cause that's the way the wind blows

C                      Dm
And I'll reclaim my heart one day

C                         Dm
We'll sit and watch your children play

C                    Dm
And I will bring you lullabies

C                          Dm
From the Emerald Isles for back porch days

    G                            C
And my old friend we will always meet again

F                    Dm   C
And I will bring you Ireland

F                Dm    C
I will bring you Ireland

F                 Dm   C
I would bring you Ireland
