Back To Tourmakeady song lyrics and chords

Back To Tourmakeady, Irish folk song lyrics and chords by Nathan Carter.
Nathan plays this song in the key of E. To play along with him 
use the first set of chords. I have transposed the song into
another key of G and D just in case his key doesn't suit your voice.
Or you could use my easy guitar chords changer on the site.
Intro chords E, A, E, A, E
[E]I’m dreamin’ tonight of days [A]so long a[E]go.
The days of my childhood, in the county of May[B]o.
And [E]as I wonder back in time my eyes fill up with [A]tears
For I’ve been a[E]way so long for oh so many years.

Take me [A]back to Tour[E]makeady.
[A]Back to Tour[E]makeady near the town of Ballan[B]row.
[E]Take me [A]back to Tour[E]makeady
[A]Back to Tour[E]makeady in the county of Mayo.

Born in Tourmakeady, the village of the Gael
Looking out across Lough Mass as the fishermen set sail.
‘Tis when I do remember the beauty of it all.
The lovely clear blue waters, and the partry mountains tall.
Chorus
The hills of Tourmakeady have many shades of green.
Like a woven patchwork quilt, the finest ever seen
To gaze upon them from Lough Mass would take your
breath away.
How I loved to walk those hills to living childhood days.
Nathan Carter
