Listen now boys, my grandmother said -
GmDmCDm
I'll tell you a story and then off to bed.
DmBbF
There once was a time, we lived of the land,
GmDmCDmCAmDmDmCAmDm
Harvest would come, and we all lent a hand. (riff repeated twice)
DmBbF
But winds blew our lives, and scattered our seeds.
GmDmCDm
Changing the landscape, from flowers to weeds.
DmBbF
See in the graveyard the families gone.
GmDmCDm
The grandest of tombstones carry them on...

When you sail from the Harbour,
BbFDmCAmDmDmCAmDm
It's your last eyes of Ireland. (riff repeated twice)
We tended the fire, and faeries appeased
the flames never died until we had to leave.
And when we were gone, the house tumbled down
and covered our footprints, we'd left on the ground.
When you sail from the Harbour,
It's your last eyes of Ireland.
(short guitar solo in the following chord sequence:
CDmBbCDmBbAm
and then back to intro riff)
My eyes are now tired and no longer see.
But visions of Ireland linger in me.
So carry your past in the rooms of your heart
and you'll never be empty of love when you part...
When you sail from the Harbour,
It's your last eyes of Ireland.
(riff repeated 4 times)
