When (D7)you're out (C)wal(G)king, and there's (D7)no one near (G)you But a voice keeps (C)cal(G)ling and you hear your (D)name It's not the (D7)lea(Em)ves or the (D7)whispering bree(G)zes It's me that's (C)calling you (G)back a(Am)gain Chorus Oh (D7)can you (D)hear (Em)me? Oh can you (C)hear (G)me As you roam through (D7)lone(Em)ly (C)London (D)town? When (D7)evening's (C)fal(G)ling you'll (D7)hear me (Em)calling (G)"Come on (C)ho-(G)ome to (the) (D7)County (G)Down" D7-G Do (D7)you re(C)mem(G)ber the (D7)fiddlers play(G)ing The songs and (C)sto(G)ries the whole night (D)long? It’s little (D7)then (Em)that you (D7)thought of lea(G)ving It seems so (C)strange now that (G)you are (Am)gone Chorus G-C-G-D7 The (D7)fish are (C)dan(G)cing on (D7)Clanrye Ri(G)ver The teams are (C)spor(G)ting in old Glen(D)vale My heart no (D7)lon(Em)ger can (D7)lead the chee(G)ring When you're not (C)playing, it's a (G)different (Am)game Chorus G-C-G-D7 2x I'm (D7)always (C)drea(G)ming that (D7)things are chang(G)ing And that they're (C)buil(G)ding a factory (D)tall And young ones (D7)nee(Em)ded a(D7)gain in New(G)ry But I still (C)need you the (G)most of (Am)all Chorus (G)"Come on (C)ho-(G)ome to the (D7)County (G)Down" |
Lyrics Without The Chords
When you're out walking, and there's no one near you But a voice keeps calling and you hear your name It's not the leaves or the whispering breezes It's me that's calling you back again Oh can you hear me? Oh can you hear me As you roam through lonely London town? When evening's falling you'll hear me calling "Come on ho-ome to County Down" Do you remember the fiddlers playing The songs and stories the whole night long? It’s little then that you thought of leaving It seems so strange now that you are gone The fish are dancing on Clanrye River The teams are sporting in old Glenvale My heart no longer can lead the cheering When you're not playing, it's a different game I'm always dreaming that things are changing And that they're building a factory tall And young ones needed again in Newry But I still need you the most of all "Come on ho-ome to the County Down" |
