Dm Bb F
Listen now boys, my grandmother said
Gm Dm C Dm
I'll tell you a story then off to bed.
Dm Bb F
Once was a time, we lived of the land,
Gm Dm C Dm C Am Dm Dm C Am Dm
Harvest would come, and we all lent a hand. (x2)
Dm Bb F
Winds blew our lives, and scattered our seeds.
Gm Dm C Dm
Changing the landscape, from flowers to weeds.
Dm Bb F
See in the graveyard the families gone.
Gm Dm C Dm
The grandest of tombstones carry them on...
Bb F Am
When you sail from the Harbour,
Bb F Dm C Am Dm Dm C Am Dm
It's your last eyes of Ireland. (x2)
Dm Bb F
We tended the fire, and fairies appeased
Gm Dm C Dm
The flame never died until we had to leave.
Dm Bb F
When we were gone, the house tumbled down
Gm Dm C Dm
Covered our footprints, we'd left on the ground.
Bb F Am
When you sail from the Harbour,
Bb F Dm C Am Dm Dm C Am Dm
It's your last eyes of Ireland. (x2)
Dm Bb F
My eyes are now tired and no longer see.
Gm Dm C Dm
But visions of Ireland linger in me.
Dm Bb F
So carry your past in the rooms of your heart
Dm C Dm
and you'll never be empty of love when you part.
Bb F Am
And you sail from the Harbour,
Bb F Dm C Am Dm Dm C Am Dm
Your last eyes of Ireland. (x2)
