The Connemara Cradle Song Cifras

[Intro]
A D
 
[Verse]
                                           A
On wings of the wind o'er the dark rolling sea
                                D
Angels are coming to watch over thee
                                    A
Angels are coming to watch o'er thy sleep
                                     D
So list' to the wind coming over the deep
 
[Chorus]
                                        A
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
                                      D
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
 
[Verse]
                                        A
The currachs are sailing way out on the blue
                              D
Laden with herring of silvery hue
                                   A
Oh, silver the herring, silver the sea
                                     D
Soon there'll be silver for baby and me
 
[Chorus]
                                        A
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
                                      D
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
                                        A
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
                                      D
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
 
[Instrumental]
D   A   D   A   D
 
[Verse]
                                        A
The currachs tomorrow will stand on the shore
                                     D
And Daddy goes sailing, a-sailing no more
                                          A
The nets will be drying, the net's heaven blessed
                                     D
And safe in my arms, contended he'll rest
 
[Chorus]
                                        A
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
                                      D
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
                                      A
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the whisper
                                      D
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
