The West Coast Of Clare Lyrics And Chords By Andy Irvine

Including this one, there several other songs from The West Coast of Clare including Lisdoonvarna Song by folk singer Christy Moore which is a comical song. There's also one for the town of Cooraclare [ song lyrics ] which was recorded by Annmarie O'Riordan and the third song from The West Coast Of Clare area is Fremantel Bay Song which is set in Doolin during the times of the Great Hunger and in my opinion one of the finest Irish ballads ever written, it's up there with the Fields Of Athenry song. But there's not a whole lot of people that even heard about the song for some reason.Guitar chords are in chordpro.
[C]Sorrow and[G] sadness ,[Am] bitter[G]ness ,[Am] grief
[F]Memories I have of [C]you[G] wont leave me in[Am] peace
My[F] mind is running[C] back to the[G] West coast of[Am] Clare
[F]Thinking of[C] you and the[G] times we spent[Am] there
 
I walked the Spanise point I knew I'd find you there
I stood on the white strand and you were everywhere
Vivid memories fade but the mood still remains
I wish I could go back and be with you again
 
In Milltown there is a pub it's there that I sat down
I see you everywhere your face is all around
The search of times past contains such sweet pain
I'll banish lonesome thoughts but they'll return again
 
I walk along the shore the rain in my face
My mind is numb with grief of you there is no trace
I'll think of this again when in far off gleng I rove
Walking with you by this cold Atlantic flow
[Repeat first verse] 
Here's the chords in the key of G


[G]Sorrow and[D] sadness ,[Em] bitter[D]ness ,[Em] grief [C]Memories I have of [G]you[D] wont leave me in[Em] peace My[C] mind is running[G] back to the[D] West coast of[Em] Clare [C]Thinking of[G] you and the[D] times we spent[Em] there
