Steeleye Span – Erin (Guitar)

                      C
At the setting of the sun

        D                   G
When my long day's work was done

                     C
I went out along the seashore for a walk

      Em         C
And I being all alone

      G           C
I sat down upon a stone

   G             D              G
To gaze upon the streets of New York

G           C
Erin grá mo chroí

           D                G
You're the dear old land to me

                           C
You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen

       Em        C
And if ever I go home

     G                C
From you I never will roam

        G               D         G     C G
From my own dear native land far away

                           C
With the turf fire burning bright

     D                   G
On a cold, dark winter's night

                            C
And the snow flakes falling gently to the ground

         Em                   C
When St. Patrick's day comes 'round

      G                 C
We'll wear the shamrock green

      G               D         G
In my own dear native land far away

G           C
Erin grá mo chroí

           D                G
You're the dear old land to me

                           C
You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen

       Em        C
And if ever I go home

     G                C
From you I never will roam

        G               D         G
From my own dear native land far away

                           C
Well, it broke my mother's heart

     D            G
From her I had to part

                   C
Will I ever see my mother anymore?

         Em         C
When her body it is laid

       G               C
In the cold and silent grave

      G               D         G
In my own dear native land far away

G           C
Erin grá mo chroí

           D                G
You're the dear old land to me

                           C
You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen

       Em        C
And if ever I go home

     G                C
From you I never will roam

        G               D         G
From my own dear native land far away
