3/4 timing [Intro] |D |A |Bm |G |D |A |D |A [Verse 1]
When DI was a lad on the GEmerald DIsle I Gheard many Dstories both lovely and Bmwild AboDut the great dragons and Gmonsters that Dbe That Gswallow the Dships when they sail on the Bmsea.
[Refrain]
Though GI was an artist with canvas and paint I sailed with St. Brendan and his jolly Dsaints We Gtold the good people goodbye for a while We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle, fair Gisle We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle.
[Verse 2]
We'd been on the ocean for G94 Ddays When we Gcame to a Dspot where the sea was aBmblaze Those Ddemons from Hades were Gdancing with Dglee And Gburning the Dsailors alive on the Bmsea
[Refrain]
Then GSt. Brendan he walked on the blistering waves He threw those demons right back to their Dcaves And Gall of the saints wore a heavenly smile We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle, fair Gisle We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle.
[Verse 3]
One Dnight while the brethren were Glying aDsleep A Ggreat dragon Dcame up from under the Bmdeep He Dthundered and light'nend and Gmade a great Ddin He aGwakened St. DBrendan and all of his Bmmen
[Refrain]
The Gdragon came on with his mouth open wide We threw in a cross and the great dragon Ddied We Gskinned him and cooked him and feasted a while We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle, fair Gisle We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle.

At Dlast we came onto that beautiful land We all went ashore and we walked on the Bmsand We Dtook our longbows and we killed us a boo We Groasted it Dup and had hot barbeBmcue
[Refrain]
And Gafter a while we were singing this song We noticed the island was moving aDlong We Gate and we drank and we rolled in high style We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle, fair Gisle We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle.
[Verse 5]
St. DBrendan said "Boys, this is Gmuch to my Dwish "We Gride on the Dback of the world's biggest Bmfish. "Hold Dfast to the rope that is Gpullin' the Dship "We'll Gneed it some Dday if this fish takes a Bmdip."
[Refrain]
We Gsailed every ocean, we sailed every sea We sailed every spot that a sailor could Dbe In G44 days we sailed 10 million miles We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle, fair Gisle We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Bmisle. G
[Outro]
We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle, fair Gisle We Dsailed for St. ABrendan's fair Disle.
