[A7]Are you[D] going across to Ireland
[D7]Will you take me in your[G] car
I'm sure you'll find my[D] conversation[A7] sound
I canD] pay my way entirely
I'll[D7] enjoy your com[G]pany
[G]Leave me off in any [A7]Tipperary[D] Town
 
Sure there's Cashel Tipp and Lorra
Old Borris and Clogheen
You can take me where I've never been before
In Dundrum, Roscrea or Carrick
In Thurles or Clonmel
Or my birthplace by the town of Templemore
Chorus
Leave me on the road to Nenagh
Where the rippling Shannon calls
And the Arra Mountains join the Silvermines
I'll be happy too in Cahir
Where the Galtee shadows fall
I'm at home in any Tipperary Town
 
I relive again the memory
Of days I used to know
Ere I let my wandering dreams invade my mind
In that little town of Emly
I knew so long ago
How I rue the day I left it all behind

Guitar chords in the key of G
[D7]Are you[G] going across to Ireland
