Tyrone Lyrics And Chords By The Wolfe Tones

Written by Brian Warfield.

Oh you can (C)travel far, far round this (G)wondrous (C)world

And mysteries and wonders you’ll (G)see

But I’ll (F)trade all this world for the (C)place that I love

The place that is (G)dearest to (G7)me.

 

All the (C)riches on earth sure can (G)never com(C)pare

To a friendly face or a (G)smile

In your (F)towns or your town’s land with your (C)folks and their homes

There is nowhere that’s (G)dearer to (G7)me.

 

Chorus:

And it’s (C)Tyrone, (F)that’s my (C)home

You’ll always be with me wher(G)ever I roam

And it’s (C)Tyrone, (G7)Tyrone

I’ll (C)give you my heart and my home, it’s the (G)county of Ty(C)rone

 

Oh I live in a strange land I can never call home

And Australia has been good to me.

Though my children where born here I’ll take them back home

My own dear county to see.

 

Oh I’ll take you back home to the place of my birth

To my cottage and farm by the stream

And the little old schollhouse where I went to school

where the happiest days that I’ve seen.

 

Chorus

 

Oh I’ll take you to Cookstown, to Arboe by Lough Neagh

Where the fishermen sport and they toil.

Then we’ll cross the mountains at old Pomeroy,

To Strabane on the banks of the Foyle.

 

We’ll wander the streets of brave Omagh town,

Cross the hills of old Corrickmore

Round two-storey  Dungannon of legend and song

And it’s there I will build you a home.
