[A]The [E7]lights of [A]London, are far be[D]hind
The thoughts of [B]homeland are [G#m]crowding my [A]mind[E7]
Familiar [A]places, come in to [D]view
I see my [A]home now, [E7]soon I'll see [A]you[D][A].
We'll [A]talk to the old folk, they're getting [D]on
Treat them to [B]late nights, sing a few [E7]songs
We'll talk of the [A]neighbours and life in the [D]town
There's [B]so much to [A]tell them,[E7] the days fly a[A]round[D].
Chorus:
[A]This is my homeland, the place I was [D]born in
No matter where [A]I go it's in my [E7]sou[B]l
My [A]feet may wander a thousand [D]places
But my heart will [A]lead me back [E7]home to my Done[A]gal.
[D][A][E7][A][D]
And [E]then to[A]morrow we'll take a [D]walk
Down to St. [B]Marys to a sheltered [G#m]spot[E]
We'll kneel and [A]pray there for the ones that're [D]gone
And [B]hope they're [A]proud of, [E7]their wandering [A]son[D][A].
REPEAT THE Chorus
The thoughts of [B]homeland are [G#m]crowding my [A]mind[E7]
