[Verse 1]
        B                         F#
Through dark summer nights on his racing bike
           E
Your great grandad Miko Killeen
         B                    F#     B
When art classes were done in Galway town
       E
Cycled home the miles between
        B          F#
And the moon overhead
        G#m          E
Led him home as he sped
         G#m             Bm B
'Til the stars over Kinvara
             E    F#
Said Welcome home
 
[Verse 2]
       B                F#
Long before I ran to be your aul man
  E
I dreamed of living here
      B                       F#
Where Atlantic waves neath Dunguaire's gaze
         E
Keep the air so fresh and clear
      B       F#         G#m          E
I was Twenty-five when I first laid eyes
   B                F#
On where I knew I'd find
   G#m          E
My children's eyes
        G#m               F#
And the stars over Kinvara
             E
Said Welcome home

[Verse 3]
           B                     F#
That first night I drove you and mammy home
         E
I pulled over in Ballindereen
       B                     F#
I just had to pull in  I had never seen
       E
Such a sky of gems that gleamed
 B         F#          G#m7      E
Orion was out, and the starry plough
        B               F#
All the night was on display
         G#m                       E
Over The Burren, the road, and the bay
           B                    F#
There were ten more lights that shone
         G#m                   E
For each one of our own passed on
      B                 F#
And I dreamed that Miko too
    G#m             E
Was shining down on you
 
         G#m             F#m             E
When the stars over Kinvara said Welcome home
         G#m             F#m             E      B
When the stars over Kinvara said Welcome home!
