My Hearts Tonight In Ireland(Chords)

	        
   G                Em        C                 D 
My heart tonight is far away across the rolling sea 
       C             G               Em        D       C 
In the sweet Miltown Malbay and it?s there I?d love to be 
   G            Am           G       Em     D 
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare 
   C                  G              Em    D      G 
My heart?s tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare. 



verse 1 

G              Em                  C       D      G 
In the town of Scariff the sun was shining in the sky 
     C             G                                     Em    D 
When Willie Clancy played his pipes and the tears welled in my eyes 
     G                     Em             C            G 
Many years have passed and gone since the times we had there 
       C                  G       Em     G     D      G 
But my heart?s tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare. 


   G                Em        C                 D 
My heart tonight is far away across the rolling sea 
       C             G               Em        D       C 
In the sweet Miltown Malbay and it?s there I?d love to be 
   G            Am           G       Em     D 
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare 
   C                  G              Em    D      G 
My heart?s tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare.
 


verse 2 

     G            Em            C        D       G 
That August in Kilrush when the rain was lashing down 
    C             G                   Em           D 
And our hotel was that haybarn on the outskirts of town 
   G                 Em           C             G 
We were all sick and feverish and Dolan had the flu 
    C                    G       Em      G        D       G 
But Johnny produced some whiskey and the sun came smiling through. 

   G                Em        C                 D 
My heart tonight is far away across the rolling sea 
       C             G               Em        D       C 
In the sweet Miltown Malbay and it?s there I?d love to be 
   G            Am           G       Em     D 
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare 
   C                  G              Em    D      G 
My heart?s tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare.
 


verse 3 

      G                Em              C         D     G 
Those nights in Sixmilebridge when the songs and music flowed 
    C               G                                 Em          D 
And when it came to closing time sure the lights were turned down low 
        G                Em              C              G 
And the sergeant from Kilkishen he would buy us all one more 
       C               G     Em       G         D        G 
And we never left that pub before the clock was striking four. 

   G                Em        C                 D 
My heart tonight is far away across the rolling sea 
       C             G               Em        D       C 
In the sweet Miltown Malbay and it?s there I?d love to be 
   G            Am           G       Em     D 
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare 
   C                  G              Em    D      G 
My heart?s tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare. 



verse 4 
  G             Em         C      D 
Lahinch and Ennistymon, Liscannor and Kilkee  
        C               G                      Em        D 
But the best of all was Miltown when the music flowed so free 
       G              Em               C            G 
Willie Clancy and the County Clare I?m ever in your debt 
        C                    G     Em      G       D        G 
For the sights and sounds of yesterday are shining memories yet. 


   G                Em        C                 D 
My heart tonight is far away across the rolling sea 
       C             G               Em        D       C 
In the sweet Miltown Malbay and it?s there I?d love to be 
   G            Am           G       Em     D 
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare 
   C                  G              Em    D      G 
My heart?s tonight in Ireland in the sweet County Clare. 

       C       G       Em     G     D      G 
In the days of Sweeney in the sweet County Clare
