Goodbye Ireland 

 
Verse 1:
   G 
The moment's drawing nearer now 
    C                                    G 
And I know this means more than most goodbyes 
  G 
I linger on familiar scenes, 
                                       D 
it's like looking through a stranger's eyes 
       C 
I'm no vagabond traveller 
                                     G 
In my heart you hold all that I hold dear 
      G 
In my soul I feel the famine 
    D                            G 
And on my face I feel an emerald tear 

G 
Goodbye Ireland 
       C                       G 
I must sail across this ocean alone 
        G 
Knowing time's a silent thief 
                                D 
Knowing should I never see you again 
   D 
An emptiness shall follow me til my life's end 
        G 
Goodbye Ireland 


 

 
Verse 2:
   G 
The ship lies in the harbor now 
        C                               G 
And the captain he'll not wait for nary man 
             G 
Tis fair the well I must be saying 
                                     D 
Then quickly I will go while I still can 
          C 
There's a new world waiting for me 
                                           G 
And I go in search of something that we've lost 
       G 
Please say that you'll forgive me 
       D                                G    D  G 
For my heart's too weak to bare a heavy cross
 

G 
Goodbye Ireland 
       C                       G 
I must sail across this ocean alone 
        G 
Knowing time's a silent thief 
                                D 
Knowing should I never see you again 
   D 
An emptiness shall follow me til my life's end 
        G 
Goodbye Ireland, goodbye Ireland 
D                         G 
Will I ever see you again
