Tara's Hill Lyrics And Chords By The Fureys And Davie Arthur

I have given two sets of guitar chords to this song. The second set are set to the key of  G Major and are the same one's that The Furey Brothers And Davie Arthur [ songs ] use in the song.
Intro: A-D-A-D
 
(A)Tara's on my (D)mind, getting (E)worse as time goes (A)by,
I've (Bm)got to make the (C#m)time to see it (E)once before I (Bm)die,
The (A)slow train has no (D)bar on board, but that (E)won’t make me (A)cry,
For (Bm)thinkin' of you (C#m)Tara, Lord I'm (E)drunk enough to (Bm)fly.(E)
 
CHORUS:
(A)If you were a (D)lass, you'd (Bm)be my (E)bride
And our (Bm)love would be a (A)treasure,
Ever would we (E)fly, beneath an (Bm)Irish sky.(E)
(A)If you were a (D)dream, I'd (Bm)stay a(E)sleep,
And if (Bm)dreams were made to (A)measure,
I'd be dreaming (E)still, and I’d (Bm)drink my fill,
To(E)night on (A)Tara Hill.
 
A-D-A-D
 
And (A)men have died (D)around you, for (E)Kings and Queens and (A)peers
But they (Bm)left you as they (C#m)found you, tho' your (E)talked to them the (Bm)same
(A)Songs of love and (D)bravery, (E)songs of yester(A)year,
But the (Bm)songs about your (C#m)beauty are the (E)songs I'd love to (Bm)hear.(E)
