My faithful friends

It's been so long

Since I sailed away

From my own native home
But Ireland's always been
D
Here on my mind
E
And o what I'd give
D
Just to be there
A
one more time.
D
I'll always have an Irish heart
E D
No matter where I go
A D E
I know where I came here from
A
My homeland and I.
D
Will never be far apart
E D A
For I'll always have an Irish heart.

My faithful friends
D
My time has come
E
To leave this world
D A
And to enter god's home
I pray he'll fly me high
D
He'll understand
E
I need to say goodbye
D A
To my Ireland
D
I'll always have an Irish heart
E D
No matter where I go
A D E
I know where I came here from
A
My homeland and I.
D
Will never be far apart
E D A
For I'll always have an Irish heart.
