Órla Fallon - Isle Of Inisfree
 
 
 
[Verse 1]
              G                       C
I've met some folk who say that I'm a dreamer
            D             D7                 G
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say
                                C        Am
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
             D         D7             G
When all the things he loves are far away
 
[Verse 2]
                                       C
And precious things are dreams unto an exile
              D        D7               G
They take him o'er the land, across the sea
                                    C      Am
Especially when it happens, he's an exile
               D      D7           G
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree
 
[Verse 3]
             C                          G
And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops
              A                       D   D7
Of this great city wondrous though it be
           G                      C         Am
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
          D         D7          G
I'm once again back home in Inisfree

[Verse 4]
                                         C
I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys
           D        D7               G
And find a peace no other land would know
                                    C       Am
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
              D      D7               G
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow
 
[Verse 5]
                               C
And then into a humble shack I wander
            D        D7         G
My dear old home and tenderly behold
                                       C         Am
The folks I love, around the turf-fire gathered
          D           D7        G
On bended knee, their rosary is told
 
[Verse 6]
                 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 footpaths here with gold dust
              D         D7          G      C   G
I still would choose my Isle of Inisfree
