	        Verso 1     

G                                    C     | Am |  
1. I've met some folk that say I am a dream-er  
             D             D7                 G  
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say 
    G                             C     | Am |  
But sure a body's bound to be a dream-er 
               D          D7                 G  
When all the things he loves are far a-way  



Verso 2 

    G                                    C     | Am |  
2. And prec-ious things are dreams unto an e-xile  
               D          D7                 G  
They take him o'er the land a-cross the sea  
    G                                 C     | Am |  
Especially when it hap-pens he's an exile  
               D          D7                 G   G7   
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree  


Bridge: 
              C                             G  
And when the moon-light peeps a-cross the roof tops 
A                                  D | D7 |  
Of this great city wondrous tho it be  
    G                                 C     | Am |  
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter  
               D          D7       G  
I'm once a-gain back home in Innisfree

Verso 3: 

    G                                    C     | Am |  
3. I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys  
               D          D7                 G  
And find a peace no other land would know  
            G                          C     | Am |  
I hear the birds make mu-sic fit for an-gels 
               D          D7                 G  
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow  



Verso 4: 

    G                                  C     | Am |  
4. And then in-to a humble shack I wander  
               D          D7                 G  
My dear old home and tenderly behold  
    G                                    C     | Am |  
The folks I love a-round the turf fire gathered 
               D          D7                 G   | G7 |  
On bend-ed knee their Rosary is told  
                  C                          G  
But dreams don't last though dreams are not forgotten  
             A                 D | D7 |  
And soon I'm back to stern reality  
                 G                              C     | Am |  
But though they pave the foot-paths here with gold dust  
               D          D7                 G  
I still would choose my Isle of In-nis-free
