Erin Cifras

[Intro]
G
 
[Verse]
                      C
At the setting of the sun
        D                   G
When my long day's work was done
                     C
I went out along the seashore for a walk
      Em         C
And I being all alone
      G           C
I sat down upon a stone
   G             D              G
To gaze upon the streets of New York
 
[Chorus]
G           C
Erin grá mo chroí
           D                G
You're the dear old land to me
                           C
You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen
       Em        C
And if ever I go home
     G                C
From you I never will roam
        G               D         G     C G
From my own dear native land far away
 
[Verse]
                           C
With the turf fire burning bright
     D                   G
On a cold, dark winter's night
                            C
And the snow flakes falling gently to the ground
         Em                   C
When St. Patrick's day comes 'round
      G                 C
We'll wear the shamrock green
      G               D         G
In my own dear native land far away
 
[Chorus]
G           C
Erin grá mo chroí
           D                G
You're the dear old land to me
                           C
You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen
       Em        C
And if ever I go home
     G                C
From you I never will roam
        G               D         G
From my own dear native land far away

[Verse]
                           C
Well, it broke my mother's heart
     D            G
From her I had to part
                   C
Will I ever see my mother anymore?
         Em         C
When her body it is laid
       G               C
In the cold and silent grave
      G               D         G
In my own dear native land far away
 
[Chorus]
G           C
Erin grá mo chroí
           D                G
You're the dear old land to me
                           C
You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen
       Em        C
And if ever I go home
     G                C
From you I never will roam
        G               D         G
From my own dear native land far away
