^GCiga^Drettes in the ^Amor^Bmnin^Ag ^G Walking ^Dhallways of this ^Bmstrange empty ^Ahome ^G Cold ^Dwhiskey in the ^Bmevening ^{A G} Every ^Dday now she?^A??s gone.

^DConnemara’s on th^Bme bus route t^Ao Beha^Dn It’s seven days since th^Bme last co^Aw die^Bmd And when the barley’s gone an^Dd three los^At wome^Dn Like the girls and boys in ^ARome used to ^Dcry.

^Bm Just give me cornbread in the ^Dmorning so ^Aearly ^Bm For you took my rags in the ^Dfold of your ^Ahand ^Bm And before you fall just like a ^Dfeather and ^Alinen ^D Make sure you’ve taken off tha^At black velve^Dt band.

^DThey say that roving’s like ^Bma candle a^At midnigh^Bmt And some take it like the ^Dtrot of a ^Amule ^Bm But when the road is blind and your ^Down tender ^Alady ^D You’d take a match to find ^Aa fireli^Dt fool.

^Bm How come the way’s not like ^Dstairs in a^A castl^Bme With crimson pictures there ^Dto guide you ^Aalong ^Bm A gilded bottle with a few ^Ddraughts ins^Aide it^D Makes the lights in the rafters ^Alook so stron^Dg.

^D When your true love’s gone t^Bmo run like a^An engin^De After nine young women with no ^Bmfaces their ^Aown ^Bm And in America she ^Dspins like a ^Adancer^D With barrel straps and some ^Ashoes made of ^Dstone.

^Bm I’d guess the porches there ar^De all cloude^Ad over^Bm And pipes and fiddles might could ^Duse some rep^Aair ^Bm And all the horses have been ^Dbroken in ^Astables ^D And golden fleeces could be ^Aworse for the ^Dwear.

^D But if you ever come to ^BmClifden by ^Asunset ^D Just before the Autumn ^Bmrains touch the ^Ashore ^Bm To stroll along Cleggan’^Ds grey-hoode^Ad harbo^Dr Cutting hard like the ^Ablade of an ^Doar.

^Bm You take yourself to a ^Dhill past the ^Apierline ^Bm To find a cabin of ^Dwhiskey and ^Amilk ^Bm Where St. Coleman used to ^Dply to his ^Amaster ^D Like colored linen and ^Amulberry ^Dsilk.
