Ireland 
by Garth Brooks 
 
Intro: A, A, A, A 
 
(A)                      A            A       
They say Mother Earth is breathing 
(A)                           A       A 
With each wave that finds the shore 
(A)                   A               A 
Her soul rises in the evening 
(A)                    A              A 
For to open twilight's doors 
(A)      F#m              A           A 
Her eyes are the stars in heaven 
(A)                      D            D 
Watching o'er us all the while 
(D)                    A              E 
And her heart it is in Ireland 
(E)                     A* 
Deep within the Emerald Isle 
 
Verse 2 
We were forty against hundreds, 
In someone else's bloody war. 
We know not why we're fighting, 
Or what we're dying for. 
They will storm us in the morning, 
As the sunlight turns the sky. 
Death is waiting for it's dance now, 
Fate has sentenced us to die. 
 
F#m      D           A 
Ireland, I am coming home! 
      D                A       
I can see your rolling fields of green 
    F#m            E  
And fences made of stone. 
     F#m      A              D       A                
I am reaching out, won't you take my hand 
           F#m   D E  A 
I'm coming home, I-re-land!
 
 
Verse 
Oh the captain he lay bleeding 
And I can hear him calling me 
These men are yours now for the leading 
Show them to their destiny 
And as I looked up all around me 
I see the ragged tired and torn 
I tell them to make ready 
Cause we're not waiting for the morn. 
 
Chorus 
 
Verse 
 
Now the fog is deep and heavy 
As we forge the dark and fear 
We can hear their horses breathing 
As in silence we draw near 
And there are no words to be spoken 
Just a look to say goodbye 
I draw a breath and night is broken 
As I scream our battle cry 
 
Chorus 
 
(A)      F#m   D E  A            
Yes I am home, I-re-land! 
 
 
 
 
The only playing notes I can give are that the Intro is strummed 
without anything more than the strum on the first of every measure. 
Listen to the song, you'll be able to pick it up easily! 
On the first verse, A* is where the song breaks into up-tempo.
