Intro 


   C       G      Am       G       C 
      

verse 1 

       C     G            Am         G      F      G         C 
On the quiet banks of the Liffey and lakes, Dublin wrote her name. 

       C              G             Am             G              F 
On the broad backs of men, we never met with their pens and their stones,  

     G       C 
they did the same, 

       C     G             Am            G            F 
In the hours passed in the pubs, all the glasses were full and they were 

G          C 
wet to the sleeve. 

        C            G            Am         G       F         G     C 
And the eyes were so clear on the girl I met there,I swore I’d never leave. 


Chorus 

        F                              G 
And the young men who longed for these shores in a song, 

         C      C/B   Am 
All they wanted was a home, 

      F                     G                        C     C/B Am 
And I wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the light of dawn, 

F              G                          C 
Patiently, she waits there for me to come home. 


verse 2 

      C           G      Am             G              F           G 
Was a bleary-eyed night, drunk from the lights and the sounds of a city  

C 
awake, 

        C            G          Am        G               F              G 
And she stood in the crowd, her face as a shroud, leaving nothing for my eye  

   C 
to take. 

      C             G         Am              G          F                    
But a warmth was so clear, it betrayed her as nearly she glowed like those  

G             C 
lights on the bridge, 

      C          G              Am           G              F           G 
And a pain in my side, as I was drawn to her pride like the rise of the wind  

       C 
to the ridge. 


Chorus 

        F                              G 
And the young men who longed for these shores in a song, 

         C      C/B   Am 
All they wanted was a home, 

      F                     G                        C     C/B Am 
And I wanted one too with a girl eyes as blue as the light of dawn, 

F              G                          C 
Patiently, she waits there for me to come home. 


Instrumental - PLAY Chorus CHORDS 
  
verse 3 (stum full chords) 

      C               G          Am           G             F 
These waters have run red, these beaches have bled from the wounds at the  

G             C 
dark heart of man, 

C               G                   Am            G          F 
Daughters grown sharp, tongues like knives to the heart or a charm for the  

G            C 
curse of the land, 

     C                G         Am                G              F 
With prayers in their eyes, how well they've disguised that it's love  

        G      C 
they're giving away. 

     C        G                 Am              G         F          G       
But you might believe when your hard heart says leave but this one implores  

       C 
you to stay. 


Chorus 

        F                              G  
And the young men who longed for these girls with our songs, 

       C      C/B   Am 
All we wanted was a home. 

F                      G                             C      C/B     Am     
She wants one too with someone heart as true as this prison made of stone, 

F              G                          C 
Patiently, she waits there for me to come home, 

F            G                      C 
Patiently, I wait to be free and be home.    


Thanks guys :) x
