Farewell To Carlingford Written by Tommy Makem. Recorded by The Dubliners with Luke Kelly singing. [Verse]

        C      F        C      Am
When I was young and in my prime 

          F               G
And could wander wild and free 

          C        G7     C      Am
There was always a longing in my mind 

   C                      G   G7
To follow the call of the sea

[Chorus]

        C        F       C      Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford 

    C               G  G7
And farewell to Greenore 

         C                 F       Em
And I'll think of you both day and night

      Dm             G
Untill I return once more, 

      F    G         C
Untill I return once more

[Verse]

      C        F     C      Am
On all the stormy seven seas 

       F                 G
I have sailed before the mast 

   C      G7    C       Am
And every voyage I ever made 

   C                   G   G7
I swore it would be my last

[Chorus]

        C        F       C      Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford 

    C               G  G7
And farewell to Greenore 

         C                 F       Em
And I'll think of you both day and night

      Dm             G
Untill I return once more, 

      F    G         C
Untill I return once more

[Verse]

          C     F           C    Am
And I had a girl called Mary Doyle 

        F            G
And she lived in Greenore 

        C        G7       C     Am
And the foremost tho-ught in my mind 

       C               G   G7
Was to keep me safe onshore

[Chorus]

        C        F       C      Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford 

    C               G  G7
And farewell to Greenore 

         C                 F       Em
And I'll think of you both day and night

      Dm             G
Untill I return once more, 

      F    G         C
Untill I return once more

[Verse]

  C         F       C      Am
A landman's life is all his own

      F             G
He can go or he can stay

    C        G7       C      Am
But when the sea gets in your blood

         C               G   G7
When she calls you must o-bey

[Chorus]

        C        F       C      Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford 

    C               G  G7
And farewell to Greenore 

         C                 F       Em
And I'll think of you both day and night

      Dm             G
Untill I return once more, 

      F    G         C
Untill I return once more

[Chorus]

        C        F       C      Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford 

    C               G  G7
And farewell to Greenore 

         C                 F       Em
And I'll think of you both day and night

      Dm             G
Untill I return once more, 

      F    G         C
Untill I return once more
