corrections or errors, let me know. Enjoy.
Verse 1
I was bDorn in a country where people admGire
Their great sporting heroes and Emhow they aspire
To stGand upon mountains and alEmways be winners
And neGver give less than their aDll.
I once met an old man who told me great stoGries
Of legends of old who played hEmard for the glory
Of lifGting the cup in that moEmment of triumph
His memGories kept me enthrDalled.
Chorus:
On the fiCelds, the fiGelds of glDory.
On the fiCelds where bGoys become mDen.
On the fiCelds, the fiGelds of glDory.
May the bCest team wEmin, win in the eDnd.
Follow the same chord progression for all but the last verse
Verse 2
Supporting their team with a true sense of place
Are the handfuls of people with pride on their faces
They come from the homelands, the parish, the village
Their banners they proudly unfurl
An anthem of hope is the song they are singing
There's a whistle, it sounds, and the game, it begins
The roar from the crowd echoes up to the heavens
It sends out a clarion call.
Chorus
Verse 3
I'm dreaming of Ireland in fine summer weather
A crowd of young lads playing football together
All hoping that someday, the call they will answer
To play for the place they were born
Chorus
Verse 4
N.C.
I'm dreaming of Ireland in fine summer weather
A crowd of young lads playing football together
The roar from the crowd echoes up to the heavens
It sends out a clarion call
