Walk-ing all the day Near tall tow-ers where fal-cons build their nests E B A B E Sil-ver winged they fly They know the call of free-dom in their breasts A E C#m A E B Saw Black Head a-gainst the sky Where twist-ed rocks they run to the sea A E C#m A B Liv-ing on your west-ern shore Saw sum-mer sun-sets, asked for more A E B A E A E I stood by your At-lan-tic sea And I sang a song for Ire-land E B A B E 2. Drink-ing all the day In old pubs where fid-dlers love to play E B A B E Some-one touched the bow He played a reel, it seemed so grand and gay A E C#m A E B Stood on Din-gle beach and cast In wild foam we found At-lan-tic Bass A E C#m A B Liv-ing on your west-ern shore Saw sum-mer sun-sets asked for more A E B A E A E I stood by your At-lan-tic sea And sang a song for Ire-land G C G D C C G C G C G Instr: ‖ | - | - | - | | | - ‖ D D G C C D ‖ | - | | | | 𝄎 ‖ E B A B E 3. Talk-ing all the day With true friends, who try to make you stay E B A B E Tell-ing jokes and news Sing-ing songs to while the time a-way A E C#m A E B Watched the Gal-way sal-mon run Like sil-ver danc-ing dart-ing in the sun A E C#m A B Liv-ing on your west-ern shore Saw sum-mer sun-sets, asked for more A E B A E A E I stood by your At-lan-tic sea And I sang a song for Ire-land E B A B E 4. Dream-ing in the night I saw a land where no-one had to fight E B A B E Wak-ing in your dawn I saw you cry-ing in the morn-ing light A E C#m A E B Sleep-ing where the Fal-cons fly They twist and turn all in your e'er blue sky A E C#m A B Liv-ing on your west-ern shore Saw sum-mer sun-sets asked for more A E B A E A E I stood by your At-lan-tic sea And I sang a song for Ire-land | 𝄎 | C#m G#m A E B A B E E Outro:‖ - | - | | | | | 𝄑 ‖
