(C)Come with the sham (Cdim)rocks and (G7)spring time, Ma (Cdim)vour (C)neen, (Am)and its Kil (D)lar ney shall (G7)ring with our (C)mirth.

(Am)Sure, when we lent ye to (E)beau ti ful (Am)Eng land, (B)lit tle we (Em)thought (Am)of the (Em)lone (B)win ter (E7)days.

(Am)Lit tle we thought of the (E)hush of the (Am)star shine (Cm)o ver the (G)moun tain, the (D7)bluffs and the (G7)brays!

Then (C)come back to Er (Cdim)in, Ma (G)vour neen, Ma (Cdim)vour (C)neen.

(C)Come back to Er (Cdim)in, Ma (G7)vour neen, Ma (Cdim)vour (C)neen.

O ver the green (Cdim)sea, Ma (G7)vour neen, Ma (Cdim)vour (C)neen, long shone the (F)white sail that (D)bore thee a (G7)way.

(C)Rid ing the white (Cdim)waves that (G7)fair sum mer (Cdim)morn (C)in’, (Am)just like a (D)may flow’r a (G7)float on the (C)bay.

(Am)Oh, but my heart sank when (E)clouds came be (Am)tween us (B)like a gray (Em)cur (Am)tain the (Em)rain (B)fall ing (E7)down.

(Am)Hid from my sad eyes the (E)path o’er the (Am)o cean (Cm)far, far a (G)way where my (D7)Col leen had (G7)flown.

Then (C)come back to Er (Cdim)in, Ma (G)vour neen, Ma (Cdim)vour (C)neen.
