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 

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
