this is an old song
[Intro]
Em C G D X 4
[Verse 1]
EmAs I roved out Cone evening as GSol cast his rDays
EmBehind yon westCern mountains aGnd the wide weDstern seas
EmI carelessly roCved out, my leiGsure hours to Dpass
EmFor to view theC Shannon water Gthat flows thrDough Doonass
EmMy mind was enrCaptured at thGis enchantingD scene
EmSuch a place in Call Ireland, Gthere is not ID ween
EmProud, beautifulC and crystal Gbright, shining likeD glass
EmIs that pure ShaCnnon water tGhat flows through DooDnass
[CHORUS]
EmIn Doonass I was Cborn and ‘tGis there I’d like to Ddie
EmAnd down in its oCld churchyard, mGy old bones liDe
EmFor if fortune proves in Cfavour, the sGeas I ne’er will cDross
EmNor bid adieu to CClonlara, GCastleconnell or DDoonass
[Verse 2]
EmHave you been to CKillarney, the GCauseway or DQuay
EmThe proud bay of CDublin, LGoophead or KDinsale ?
EmThe city cove of CCork seems butG shadows or Dgas
EmWhen compared to the Cproud rolling Gfalls of DDoonass
EmAnd if you’re tired oCf walking, pGroceed on furtheDr still
EmTo the right of MassCey’s mansion, ‘Gtis there you’ll get your Dfill
EmAnd when you reach tChe summit, cGome fill up your gDlass
EmDrink a health, weaClth and honour to the Gfalls of DDoonass
[Chorus]
EmIn Doonass I was Cborn and ‘tGis there I’d like to Ddie
EmAnd down in its oCld churchyard, mGy old bones liDe
EmFor if fortune proves in Cfavour, the sGeas I ne’er will cDross
EmNor bid adieu to CClonlara, GCastleconnell or DDoonass
[Verse 3]
EmGo into the rock-gaCrdens to take a refresGhing breezDe
EmWhere the holy handC of time has spread beGneath its Dtrees
Em‘tis there you’ll sCee the anglers, both bGonny, brigDht and gay
EmWith their artificiCal flies in the sweet Gmonth of MDay
EmGo eastward and wesCtward and into the chuGrchyard D
EmQuiet sober and silCent, ‘twould win your Gregard D
EmWith its crumbling Cwalls of ivy and graveGs of greenD grass
EmAnd the dead lying Cbeneath them near the Gfalls of DDoonass
[Chorus]
EmIn Doonass I was Cborn and ‘tGis there I’d like to Ddie
EmAnd down in its oCld churchyard, mGy old bones liDe
EmFor if fortune proves in Cfavour, the sGeas I ne’er will cDross
EmNor bid adieu to CClonlara, GCastleconnell or DDoonass
[Verse 4]
EmAnd if you’re nCot tired of walGking, proceed Don further still
EmUntil you come Cup with Saint SGenan’s holy weDll
EmWhere the lame,C blind and wearGy a cure ever Dhas
EmIn that healingC gift from heavGen near the faDlls of Doonass
EmOh, when shall Cthat day come, Gthat dear and Dhappy hour
EmWhen I’ll walk Cundisturbed ‘neGath the turretD’s green bower
EmWith my mind frCee from care, aGnd by my side Da lass
EmAnd she lives iCn a cottage neaGr the falls ofD Doonass
[Chorus]
EmIn Doonass I was Cborn and ‘tGis there I’d like to Ddie
EmAnd down in its oCld churchyard, mGy old bones liDe
EmFor if fortune proves in Cfavour, the sGeas I ne’er will cDross
EmNor bid adieu to CClonlara, GCastleconnell or DDoonass
