Listen now boys, my grandmother said -
Gm Dm C Dm
I'll tell you a story and then off to bed.
Dm Bb F
There 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.
Dm Bb F
But 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 Am7
When you sail from the Harbour
Bb F Dm C Am Dm Dm C Am Dm
It's your last eyes of Ireland
Dm Bb F
We tended the fire, and faeries appeased
Gm Dm C Dm
The flames never died until we had to leave.
Dm Bb F
And when we were gone, the house tumbled down
Gm Dm C Dm
And covered our footprints, we'd left on the ground
Bb F Am7
When you sail from the Harbour
Bb F Dm C Am Dm Dm C Am Dm
It's your last eyes of Ireland
( C Dm Bb )
( C Dm Bb Am )
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
Gm Dm C Dm
And you'll never be empty of love when you part
Bb F Am7
When you sail from the Harbour
Bb F Dm C Am Dm Dm C Am Dm
It's your last eyes of Ireland
