Song Lyrics And Chords In G Major

Intro C, G, D, G Am
The [G]Lights of Rosslare harbour are [C]fading from my [G]view
A [C]lone on board the [G]ferry [D]as I [G]sail away from [D]you
The [G]dreams and [D]plans we [G]cherished as we [C]shared these last few [G]years
Their [C]showily been ex[G]tenuated they run [D]down my face in tears

[G]This heart of mine it’s [D]breaking – it’s [C]pounding in my [G]breast
Still [C]everybody [G]tells me sure you know it’s for the [D]best
But [G]today I [D]loose my [G]best friends as I [C]leave you both be[G]hind 
Both [C]you my love and [G]Ireland will be [D]always on my [G]mind

[G]The Lights [D]of Ross[G]lare harbour are [C]fading from [G]my view
A [C]lone on board the [G]ferry as I sail away from [D]you
The [G]dreams and [D]plans we [G]cherished as [C]we shared these last few [G]years
Their [C]showily been ex[G]tenuated they run [D]down my face in [G]tears

I’m [G]sitting my the window[C] as the ship sails out to [G]sea
The [C]flashing lights of [G]Tusker their my only [D]company 
And[G] for a [D]few brief [G]moments [C]as we sharer our last fair [G]well
[C]Who knows how long it will[G] be till I [D]see her lights a[G]gain.
