corrections or errors, let me know. Enjoy.
Verse 1
I was bForn in a country where people admFire
Their great sporting heroes and Amhow they aspire
To stFand upon mountains and alAmways be winners
And neFver give less than their aFll.
I once met an old man who told me great stoFries
Of legends of old who played hAmard for the glory
Of lifFting the cup in that moAmment of triumph
His memFories kept me enthrFalled.
Chorus:
On the fiFelds, the fiFelds of glFory.
On the fiFelds where bFoys become mFen.
On the fiFelds, the fiFelds of glFory.
May the bFest team wAmin, win in the eFnd.
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.F.
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
