D A
Walking all the day
G D G A D
By tall towers where falcons build their nests
A
Silver winged they fly,
G D G A D
They know the call of freedom in their breasts,
G Em G A
Saw Black Head against the sky
D G A
With twisted rocks that run down to the sea
Chorus:
G D
Living on your Western shore,
D G A
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more,
G D A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
G D G D
And sang a song for Ireland
D A
Drinking all the day,
G D G A D
In old pubs where fiddlers love to play,
A
Saw one take a bow,
G D G A D
And played a reel that was so grand and gay,
G Em G A
Stood on Dingle Beach and cast,
D G A
In wild foam I found Atlantic bass
Chorus:
G D
Living on your Western shore,
D G A
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more,
G D A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
G D G A D
And sang a song for Ireland
D G
Laughing all the day,
G D G A D
With true friends who try to make you stay,
A
Telling jokes and news,
G D G A D
And singing songs to pass the night away,
G Em G A
Watched the Galway salmon run,
D G A
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun
Chorus:
G D
Living on your Western shore,
D G A
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more,
G D A
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
G D G A D
And sang a song for Ireland
D A
Dreaming in the night,
G D G A D
I saw a land where no man had to fight,
A
And waking in your dawn,
G D G A D
I saw you crying in the morning light,
G Em G A
Lying where the falcons fly,
D G A
They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky
Walking all the day
G D G A D
By tall towers where falcons build their nests
A
Silver winged they fly,
G D G A D
They know the call of freedom in their breasts,
G Em G A
Saw Black Head against the sky
D G A
With twisted rocks that run down to the sea
Chorus:
G D
Living on your Western shore,

Saw summer sunsets, asked for more,
