^DWalking all the ^Aday Near^G tall ^D/F#towers where ^G/Efalcons build^A their nests^D ^DSilver-winged they ^Afly They [em]know the [bm]call of ^Gfreedom ^Ain their ^Dbreasts ^GSaw Black Head a^Asusgainst the sky^A Where ^Dtwisted [bm]rocks they ^Drun down^G to the ^Asea

Chorus:

^GLiving on^A your we^Dstern shore[bm] [bm]Saw summer ^Dsunsets, ^Gasked for ^Amore ^GI stood by ^Ayour At^Dlantic ^ASea And [em]sang a [bm]song for^G I^Are^Dland

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
