My Dear Ireland Lyrics And Chords

Recorded by Nathan Carter. There's a key change in this song that you can put in if you wish. You can just as easy play the whole song using the guitar chords I give for the first part of the song.
Lyrics without the chords.
See the Green Grass growing in the fields nearby
Purple Heather ed Mountains and a clear blue sky
See the old thatched cottages and the rippling stream
This is my dear Ireland, what a beautiful scene.

Chorus.
Your my homeland my dear Ireland
And I love you through and through
For I was born here and I'll die hear
For my dear Ireland I love you.

Fisher boats are sailing on the morning tide
Hear the seagulls calling from the cliffs nearby
Oh the evening sunset with the blood red sky
This is my dear Ireland I love you 'till I die.

I traveled many lands many sights I've seen
They don't compare with my lovely Isle of green
For there's something special about this Isle so fine
This is my dear Ireland forever on my mind.
