VERSE 1:
D               A
Walking all the day
    G     D/F#         G/E          A           D
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
D                  A
Silver-winged they fly
     em       bm       G       A        D
They know the call of  freedom in their breasts
G               Asus          A
Saw Black Head against the sky
      D       bm         D       G       A
Where twisted rocks they run down to the sea

CHORUS:
G        A       D          bm
Living on your western shore
bm         D        G         A
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
G          A      D      A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea
    em     bm      G A D
And sang a song for Ireland

VERSE 2:
Drinking all the day
In old pubs where fiddlers love to play
Saw one touch the bow
He played a reel which seemed so grand and gay
Stood on Dingle Beach and cast
In wild foam we found Atlantic bass

CHORUS:...

VERSE 3:
Talking all the day
With true friends who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news
Singing songs to pass the time away
Watched the Galway salmon run
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun

CHORUS:...

VERSE 4:
Dreaming in the night
I saw a land where no one had to fight
Waking in your dawn
I saw you crying in the morning light
Sleeping where the falcons fly
They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky

CHORUS:...
