I can (G)hear now the (D7)pipers (C)cal(G)ling
On (C)that far (D7)distant (D)shore;
And my (G)tears now like (D7)leaves are (C)fall(G)ing
And (C)I will (D)see your (D7)face no (G)more!

You are (C)sleeping, (D)you are (G)sleeping,
Oh no sleep or peace can (D7)comfort (D)me;
I am (C)weeping, (D7)oh I am (C)wee(G)ping,
Till (C)I will (D)sleep and (D7)sleep with (G)thee
