​Oh the [A]lights are shining bright out here on [D]Broadway,
And my [E]eyes are growing dimmer day by [A]day, [E]
But my [A]heart it longs to be far a[D]cross the Irish [Bm]Sea,
In a [B]little place that means the world to [E]me

[Chorus]
It's Achill [A]Island so far a[D]way
In dreams you [E]call me - both night and [A]day  [E]
And someday [A]soon - I'll cross the [D]foo[Bm]oaaam
To [D]see again the [E]friends I love,
In my Achill Island [A]home

Once a[A]gain I'll see your mountains, lakes and [D]valleys
Where I [E]wandered long ago when just a [A]boy  [E]
Where I [A]used to sport and play and [D]fish the hours a[Bm]way
By the [B]little pool I called my hidea[E]way

[Chorus]
In Achill [A]Island so far a[D]way
In dreams you [E]call me - both night and [A]day  [E]
And someday [A]soon - I'll cross the [D]foo[Bm]oaaam
To [D]see again the [E]friends I love,
In my Achill Island [A]home


[Break]

     [E]    [E]    [E]    [A]    [A]

I [A]dream of you when light of day is [D]breaking,
I [E]think of you when evening shadows [A]fall, [E]
And I [A]hope someday to rest in the [D]place that I love [Bm]best,
[B]Where the golden sun is sinking in the [E]West

[Chorus]
In Achill [A]Island so far a[D]way
In dreams you [E]call me - both night and [A]day  [E]
And someday [A]soon - I'll cross the [D]foo[Bm]oaaam
To [D]see again the [E]friends I love,
In my Achill Island [A]home

[Chorus]
In Achill [A]Island so far a[D]way
In dreams you [E]call me - both night and [A]day  [E]
And someday [A]soon - I'll cross the [D]foo[Bm]oaaam
To [D]see again the [E]friends I love,
In my Achill Island [A]home

[Outro]
To [D]see again the [E]friends I love,
In my Achill Island [D]hooo[A]oome
