​
this is the classic Celtic supporters’ song, which has a march-like pub rhythm that works great for both strumming and fingerpicking.
We’ll keep it in D Major, 4/4 time, medium tempo (~95 BPM), with both strumming and fingerpicking options.
Here’s your mobile-friendly version with lyrics placed under the tab lines for easy reading while playing.

Charlie And The Bhoys Lyrics And Chords
​Verse 1:
Oh the hills of green and the rolling seas
The land of my ancestors, where my heart longs to be
With every breath I take, I feel their presence near
Their spirits live on in the songs that I hear

Chorus:
So I'll sing celtic songs and play my harp
To honor the land and its ancient art
With every strum and every note
I'll keep the celtic spirit afloat

Verse 2:
The tales of old and the legends told
They speak of magic and bravery bold
From fairies and leprechauns to tales of love
The celtic spirit shines from above

Chorus:
So I'll sing celtic songs and play my harp
To honor the land and its ancient art
With every strum and every note
I'll keep the celtic spirit afloat

Bridge:
The harp strings ring with a mystical sound
As I sing of my heritage, my feet leave the ground
I am transported to a time long gone
But the celtic spirit in me lives on

Chorus:
So I'll sing celtic songs and play my harp
To honor the land and its ancient art
With every strum and every note
I'll keep the celtic spirit afloat

Outro:
With every song and every strum
I pay tribute to where my roots come from
So I'll keep singing celtic songs and playing my harp
For the celtic spirit will forever be in my heart.
