Time for the final song! It also happens to be one of the most enjoyable ones to play because of how
much you have to switch chords. I'd imagine that this is a lot easier to do on my accordion than it must
be using an actual guitar, but you folks are good. You'll figure it out.

It seemed like Ceverything we heard and hoped Gmight be Amtrue
We got a Cride right away and she took us to the AmduneFs
And Amwe fell asGleep to the Csounds of a carnival
From a Amvillage Gfurther down the Cbeach
We Amwoke up the next Gmorning on a Cbed of tiny Amflowers,
Packed the Ctent and went to Gget somethin' to Ceat
We bought a Amcheap jar of peanut butter and a Cloaf of fresh white bread,
We made Amsandwiches on the beach; life doesn't Fget any better than Gthis
We Cwalked in for free to the first Gcastle that we Amfound
It was Cempty, it was late, it beGcame our campAmgroFund
And we Amspotted a Gtent and we Cmet another Fcamper
And he Amtold us Ghis sad Cstory--
Well Amhe had been Gdumped by a Cgirl that he Floved, but he Amtold us Gnot to Cworry
You can Amcamp anywhere, no one's gonna care; why Cwould they?
"It's not Amlike this at home," we told him, "you know"
He said your Fhome's so far Gaway
CWe went west all the way 'til the Gland ran Amout
We slept Cat an empty house in the Gmiddle of a tiny AmtownF
We met a Amman at a Gcrossroads who Csaid it was his Fdream to Amsomeday Gcome to BloomingCton
AmWe thought it was Gfunny because Cfor you and Fme, it was our Amdream to be Ghere in IreCland
AmHe was a big fan of John Melloncamp;
we Ctold him everything we knew about him
We Aminvited him to come and stay at our house;
when we Fgot to our stop he didn't Gwant us to get out
C F Am
We stayed the night at the house of a guy from Albany
He was Cglad to meet Americans; he made us spagheAmttiF
And Amwe met a Gman who Csaid he was a Fdoctor and he Amtook us on Gsome of his Chouse calls
He Amtaught us the Gbest way to get a Cdonkey to Fcome to you
is not to Ampay them any Gattention at Call
And I Amcrawled to the edge and peeked over my head and Clooked down to the sea
It was Amtwo thousand feet to the water below; it Flooked so blue, it Glooked so deep
And don't Cever let 'em Ftell you that it Amrains in IreCland
CWell if they tell you Fthat you can be Gsure they've never Cbeen
'Cause the Csun is always Fshinin' and the Amhills are always Cgreen
And the Cpeople are always Fsmilin' and Gofferin' you Cdrinks
G - Am - G
We'd Cset up our tent on the cliffs right by the Amsea
Almost Cevery night and the waves rocked us to AmsleeFp
A Ampostman from GWales and his Cfriend from FEngland
Bought us Amfries at the Gwesternmost Cpub
AmWe sat with Gthem and two Cothers we'd Fmet
And we all Amwatched the Gpostman get Cdrunk
And at Amfirst the Burren might seem like a Cwaste land of broken stones
AmLook in the cracks and you'll see there's a Fsecret there that Ggrows
And CGalway City really Gfeels a lot like Amhome
We wentC through ConnGemara and up to SAmligFo
And Amat the Slieve GLeague we couldn't Csee Fanything;
We decAmided that Gwe should turn Cback
The Ammist was so Gthick that we Ccouldn't find our Ffeet
And the Amtrail was called GDeadman's CPass
AmOn one side it was three thousand feet down to the Cocean
AmThe other was two thousand feet to the ground
And Fanyway our time was Grunning out
And Cwe crossed the country in Gless than a Amday
Our Clast ride to Dublin Gasked us the same AmthingFs
They Amasked if we Ghad any Ckin from FIreland;
They were Amsurprised when Gwe said Cno
When I Amsaid I didn't Gdrink and hadn't Ctried Guinness Fyet
They were the Amfirst ones to Gsay, "way to Cgo"
And Amas our ferry was leaving the CEmerald Isle behind
We were Amalready making our plans Fto come back someGtime
And don'tC ever let 'em Ftell you that it Amrains in IreCland
Well Cif they tell you Fthat you can be Gsure they've never Cbeen
'Cause the Csun is always Fshinin' and the Amhills are always Cgreen
And Cpeople are always Fsmilin' and Gofferin' you Cdrinks
