Dingle Bay 2 Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords
I call this one Dingle Bay 2 because there's another song by The Wolfe Tones with the same name. Dingle Bay tin whistle sheet music now included. Edmond O'Sullivan wrote this song Dingle Bay. He worked at the cable station on Valentia Island and later moved to Dublin where he wrote this song. The information on the song writer is from Edmond's great grand daughter Audrey.The youtube video is by Paddy Day. I choose this one because I love his voice. He does a might version of Shanagolden song, it would bring a tear to a stone, as they say. If these chords don't suit your voice try changing them to - D=G, G=C, Em=Am, A7=D7.
The[D] sun was [G]sinking towords the [D]westward
The [D]fleet is leaving Dingle [Em]shore,,[A7]
I [D]watch the[G] men row in their [D]curraghs
As they [G]mark the fishing [A]grounds near Scellig[D] Mor,,D7
All [G]through the night men toil until the [D]daybreak
while at home their wives and sweethearts kneel and [Em]
pray,,A7]
That[D] God might[G] guard them and pro[D]tect them
and [G]send them safely [A]back to Dingle [D]Bay.
I see the green Isle of Valencia
I mind the caves around Lough Lein
The gannets swinging with abandon
As they watch the silver store that comes their way
I also see a ship on the horizon
She is sailing to a country far away
on board are exiles feeling lonely
As they wave a fond farewell to Dingle Bay
Now years have passed as I came homeward
And time has left me old and grey
I sit and muse about my childhood
And the happy hours I spent near Dingle Bay
I see again the green isle of Valencia
And the Isle of Inishmore seems far away
I am always dreaming of my homeland
And that little spot I left at Dingle Bay
The [D]fleet is leaving Dingle [Em]shore,,[A7]
I [D]watch the[G] men row in their [D]curraghs
As they [G]mark the fishing [A]grounds near Scellig[D] Mor,,D7
All [G]through the night men toil until the [D]daybreak
while at home their wives and sweethearts kneel and [Em]
pray,,A7]
That[D] God might[G] guard them and pro[D]tect them
and [G]send them safely [A]back to Dingle [D]Bay.
