on a beautiful[Em] mid summer’s[Am] morn[D7]ing looking[G] over the lake where the[C] waters do[G] break by the[C] hills in the[D7] County Roscom[G]mon Oh I left from my home in the town of Athlone on the way to the Three Jolly Pidgeons(?) it was by Glassen Town on the road I sat down and I looked o’re the beautiful Shannon CHORUS [G]Lough Rea oh Lough[G7] Rea where the[C] three counties[G] meet Longford, West[Em] meath and Ros[Am]common,,[D7] as I[G] strolled ‘round her banks be the[C] heather and[G] peat they’re the[C] mem’ries I’ve[D7] never for[G]gotten Oh sad was the day when I went far way to work amongst timber and concrete as I made me a plan for to follow life’s span I forsook the dear place of my homeland If God grants me grace I’ll return to the place when the twilight of life has come o’re me as I stand on your shores like a bird my heart soars as I gaze on the beauty around me Song Lyrics Only
