Lyrics and guitar chords
C
Twas the landlords that F
drove us from G
IrelandAm
High rents were F
our prison G
wallsAm
Then the famine came F
roundAnd
G
blackened the Am
groundAnd the
F
auctioneers G
hammer did C
fallC
Farewell to the F
ones I C
adoreAnd the
F
land I will Am
see never Dm
moreG7
For I'm C
saying goodF
byeWith a
G
tear in me Am
eyeTo the
F
dear little G
shamrock C
shoreC
A ship lies in F
Fairbury G
harbourAm
Barely safe F
over the G
foamAm
But to Halifax F
townI
G
soon will be Am
boundFar
F
away from me G
native C
homeC
Farewell to the F
ones I C
adoreAnd the
F
land I will Am
see never Dm
moreG7
For I'm C
saying goodF
byeWith a
G
tear in me C
eyeTo the
F
dear little G
shamrock C
shoreC
Well they all came to F
wish me safe G
journeyAm
The parting still F
grieves on me G
mindAm
Me parents so F
dearMe
G
friends far and Am
nearAnd the
F
girl I G
left beC
hindC
Farewell to the F
ones I C
adoreAnd the

There's work to be F

The wee birds on F
feathered wings G
soarAm
I dream of the F
dayWhen
G
home I will Am
strayTo the
