Luke Kelly - Song For Ireland Ukulele Chords

VERSE 1

D               A
Walking all the day,
   G    Bm           A                   D
by tall towers where falcons build their nests
D                    A
In silver wings they fly,
     G        Bm      A                D
they know the call of freedom in their breasts
G                G          D
Saw Black Head a-gainst the sky,
      Bm                G        Bm     A
where twisted rocks may run down to the sea

CHORUS

G              D       A
Living on your Western shore,
    G          Bm   D              A
saw summer sun-sets,   I asked for more,
  G             D        A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
      G      Bm       A   D
and I sang a song for Ire-land

VERSE 2

D                A
Drinking all the day,
   G   Bm         A                D
in old pubs where fiddlers love to play
D                 A
Saw one touch the bow,
   G        Bm         A                   D
he played a reel which seemed so grand and gay
  G               G         D
I stood on Dingle Beach and cast,
   Bm           G        Bm     A
in wild foam we found At-lantic bass,

CHORUS

G              D       A
Living on your Western shore,
    G          Bm   D              A
saw summer sun-sets,   I asked for more,
  G             D        A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
      G      Bm       A   D
and I sang a song for Ire-land

Verse 3

D                A
Laughing all the day,
     G    Bm          A               D
with true friends who try to make you stay
D                 A
Telling jokes and news,
    G       Bm       A                D
and singing songs to while the time a-way,
   G                  G      D
We watched the Galway salmon run,
     Bm              G       Bm     A
like silver dancing, darting in the sun

CHORUS

G              D       A
Living on your Western shore,
    G          Bm   D              A
saw summer sun-sets,   I asked for more,
  G             D        A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
      G      Bm       A   D
and I sang a song for Ire-land

VERSE 4

D               A
Dreaming in the night,
  G     Bm         A             D
I saw a land where no one had to fight
    D              A  
And waking in your dawn,
  G       Bm     A              D
I saw you crying in the morning light
G                  G       D
Sleeping where the falcons fly,
     Bm                 G       Bm  D    A
they twist and turn all in your air-blue sky

CHORUS

G              D       A
Living on your Western shore,
    G          Bm   D              A
saw summer sun-sets,   I asked for more,
  G             D        A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
      G      Bm       A   D
and I sang a song for Ire-land
