Limerick You're A Lady Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords

Written by Denis Allen who plays this song in the key of G Major. I have also given a version in the key of D. This has now become one of the most popular songs ever written about County Limerick. The tin whistle sheet music notes are included.

 (D)Limerick (A7)you’re a (D)Lady
Your (G)Shannon waters (Em)tears of joy that (D)flows
The (Bm)beauty that sur(F#m)rounds you
I (Em)take it with me (G)love where e’re I (A7)go
While (F#m)waking in the (A7)arms of distant (Bm)waters
A (G)new day finds me (Em)far away from (A7)home
And (D)Limerick(A7) you’re my (D)Lady
The (Em)one true love that (A7)I have ever (D)known
 
As (D)children you and I, spent (G)endless days of (D)fun, 
In (G)winter snow or (Em)summers golden (D)sun, 
We (Bm)fished in silver springs, the (F#m)fabric of my (Bm)dreams, 
Was (Em)fashioned by your loveliness, and (G)so I have to (A7)say,
 
Chorus
 
A (D)gift that time has made to (G)travelers on their (D)way
(G)Seeking out the (Em)beauty of our (D)land
A (Bm)shrine where children play, the (F#m)bells ring out to (Bm)say
Thank (Em)God we’re living just to feel the (G)freedom of each (A7)day
 
Chorus
Repeat Chorus 2nd half

Here's the tin whistle sheet music.

The version below should be played on a tin whistle in the key of C. This version is a bit easier as there's no half notes.
