​[Am[C][G][Am][F][C][G][C]
[C]I'm sitting in a baroom in [G]Chicago all alone
[F]Looking at the [G]rain comming [C]down
Put another nickel in the [G]jukebok on the wall
And [G]I'll play a few old [G]songs from way back [C]home.

[C]The record started playing and it [G]mentioned Donegal
[F]Then it gave a [G]mention to Ty[C]rone
The words don't mean nothing when you're [G]sitting in a bar
When [F]any town in [G]Ireland would be [C]home.

Chorus
[F]Any town in [G]Ireland would be [C]home
Just a [F]cottage by the river all a[G]lone
I'm [C]sitting in a [G]baroom in Chi[Am]cago[F] Sunday morning
[C]When any town in Ireland would be home.

[C][G][F][C][G][C][Ab]

[C#]Another record mentioned [Ab]Galway and Mayo

The bar tender asked me what [Ab]town I came from
I said [F#]any town in [Ab]Ireland would be [C#]home

I'm Going Back To Ireland Again Lyrics

I'm going back to Ireland, I'm going back to Ireland
I've been all around, seen every town,
Now I'm going back to Ireland.

I'm going home to my county Tyrone
The place where I roamed as a boy
Where the rivers run free
That's where I want to be
So I'm going back to Ireland.

It's been a long time since I made up my mind
To wander away from my home
Then the bright city lights came calling one night
Decided that I had to roam
To my family and friends I said my farewell
My dad left me down to the train
Kissed my mother goodbye with a tear in her eye
And I left my county Tyrone.

chorus
I'm going back to Ireland, I'm going back to Ireland
I've been all around, seen every town,
Now I'm going back to Ireland.

I'm going home to my county Tyrone
The place where I roamed as a boy
Where the rivers run free
That's where I want to be
So I'm going back to Ireland.

I've had a good time in the places I've been
The seights and the people were fine
I've made lots of friends that I'll always hold dear
'tis sad that I leave them behind
But I got the call that I did long ago
Only this time it's coming from home
And old Ireland is calling me back to the fold
Back to the county Tyrone.

intro chords C F Dm
[F]Here is one that we took one Sunday [Dm]after[Bb]noon
I re[F]member it was in the summer[C]time
[F]On the back it says eighteen seven sixty [Bb]five
The [F]same day you [C]promised to be [F]mine.[Dm]

chorus
But [C]old pictures have a way of [F]fading
Like a [Bb]love that [C]wasn't ment to [F]be
Still each night I dig [Bb]out the family [F]album[Dm]
But [C]old photographes sure get to [F]me.[C][F][Dm]

[F]Here it is, it's the last one that we took to[Bb]gether
Though it's [F]faded a little more than the [C]rest
[F]I suppose it's because it's because of all the tear stains [Bb]on it
But it's the [F]one that to [C]me you look the [F]best.[Dm]

Old Photographs Lyrics
Here is one that we took one Sunday afternoon
I remember it was in the summertime
On the back it says eighteen seven sixty five
The same day you promised to be mine.

chorus
But old pictures have a way of fading
Like a love that wasn't ment to be
Still each night I dig out the family album
But old photographs sure get to me.

Here it is, it's the last one that we took together
Though it's faded a little more than the rest
I suppose it's because it's because of all the tear stains on it
But it's the one that to me you look the best.
