A) My     faithful friends

 And o what I’d (E) give
 Just to (D) be there 
 one more (A) time.
 

CHORUS.
 I’ll always have an Irish (D) heart
 No (E) matter where I (D) go

My faithful     friends
 My time has (D) come
 To leave this (E) world

 He’ll under(D)stand
 I need to (E) say goodbye
 To (D) my Ire(A)land

SMALL TOWN SUMMER:
[A]I remember that [F#m]small town summer,
[D]Beer cans and [E]barley fields,[A].
The first time, I saw [F#m]your eyes shimmer,[D],
Through the shadows of a [E]ferris wheel.
My [A]new guitar in your [F#m]dad's old [Bm]car, 
I [D]didn't think we'd [E]go so far.
[A]Drifted out of [E]sight.
(chorus)
We were[D] wild, we were strong,
We were [A]young, we were wrong,
[D]Love was just something to [A]do.
We had [D]fears, we had dreams, 
We were [A]somewhere between,
[F#m]Everything and nothing to [D]prove.
What I'd [Bm]give for [D]one more small town [A]summer with you,[E].
One more [E]small town summer...[A]
Song Words Without The Chords
My faithful friends
Its been so long
Since I sailed away
From my own native home
But Ireland's always been
Here on my mind
And o what I’d give
Just to be there 
One more time.
CHORUS.
I’ll always have an Irish heart
No matter where I go
I know where I came here from
My homeland and I.
Will never be far apart
For I’ll always have an Irish heart.
My faithful friends
My time has come
To leave this world
And to enter god's home
I pray he’ll fly me high
He’ll understand
I need to say goodbye
To my Ireland
