    C 
The Green and Red of Mayo 
F 
I can see it still 
    C 
It's soft and craggy bogland 
    F 
It's tall majestic hills 
    G 
Where the ocean kisses Ireland 
    F 
And the waves carress it's shore 
    C 
The feeling it came over me 
    F 
To stay forever more 
    C 
Forever more 

   C 
From it's rolling coastal waters 
   F 
I can see Croagh Patrick's peak 
   C 
Where one Sunday every Summer 
   F 
The pilgrims climb the reek 
   G 
Where Saint Patrick in it's solitude 
   F 
Looked down across Clew Bay 
   C 
With a ringing of his bell 
   F 
Called the faithful there to pray 
   C 
There to pray 

   C 
Take me to Clare Island 
   F 
The home of Granuaile 
   C 
It's waters harbour fishes 
   F 
From the herring to the whale 
   G 
And now I must depart it 
   F 
And reality is plain 
   C 
May the time not pass so slowly 
   F 
Before I set sail again 
   C 
Set sail again
