[Verse 1]
F#/G# G#m E F# G#m
Down past Dunlewey's bonny lakes, one morning I did stray
E F# C#m7 D#m G#m D#m
Until I reached sweet Clady banks, where the silvery salmon play
E F# C#m7 D#m G#m D#m
I strolled around through old Bunbeg and down along the shore
G#m E G#m E F# G#m
And gazed with admiration on the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 2]
F#/G# G#m E F# G#m
I visit Magherclocher and on Middletown heights I stand
E F# C#m7 D#m G#m D#m
Beneath me lies the ocean wide and Machergallon strand
E F# C#m7 D#m G#m D#m
Those sandy banks so dear to me, those banks I do adore
G#m E G#m E F# G#m
Behind me lies sweet Derrybeg and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F#/G# G#m E F# G#m
The bonny Isle of Gola and Inishmean so near
E F# C#m7 D#m G#m D#m
I see the little fishing fleet, as it lies along the pier
E F# C#m7 D#m G#m D#m
I wander through the graveyard, where those have gone before
G#m E G#m E F# G#m
That once lived happy and content, by the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Verse 4]
F#/G# G#m E F# G#m
I see sweet Inish Oirthir and far off Tory__ Isle
E F# C#m7 D#m G#m D#m
I view the ocean liners as they steam along in style
E F# C#m7 D#m G#m D#m
On board are Irish emigrants, with hearts both sad and sore
G#m E G#m E F# G#m
As they gazed on old Tir Chonaill hills and the green fields of Gaothdobhair
[Outro]
