[Verse]
G C G I was dreaming of old Ireland and Killarney's lakes and fells, C G A7 D I was dreaming of the shamrock and the dear old Shannon Bells, G C G When my memory suggested in a vision bright and clear, C G D G All the strange things that would happen if we had old Ireland here.
[Chorus]
G C G If the Blarney stones stood out on Sydney Harbour, C G And Dublin Town to Melbourne came to stay, C G If the Shannon River joined the Brisbane Waters, A D And Killarney's lakes flowed into Botany Bay, G C G If the Shannon Bells rang out in old Fremantle, C G And County Cork in Adelaide did appear, Em G D Erin's sons would never roam, all the boys would stay at home, G D G D If we only had old Ireland over here.
[Interlude]

[Verse]
G C G There are lots of lovely Faeries dancin' on the village green, C G A7 D There are lots of lovely Cailíns, the finest ever seen, G C G Where the boys are all called Paddy, and the girls called Molly dear, C G D G D Sure we'd wrap the green flag round them, if we had old Ireland here.
[Chorus]
G C G If the Shannon Bells rang out in old Fremantle, C G And County Cork in Adelaide did appear, Em G D Erin's sons would never roam, all the boys would stay at home, G D G D If we only had old Ireland over here.
