[Verse 1]
D D7 G D
Far across yonder blue lies a true fairy land
Bm E A
With the sea rippling over the shingle and sand
D D7 G D
Where the gay honeysuckle is luring the bee
Bm A D
And the green glens of Antrim are calling to me.
[Chorus]
G D Bm
Sure if only you knew how the lamp of the moon
D Bm E A
Turns a blue Irish bay to a silver lagoon
D D7 G D
You'd imagine a picture of heaven it would be
Bm A D
Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me.
[Verse 2]
D D7 G D
Soon I hope to return to my own Cuchendall
Bm E A
T'is the one place for me That can outshine them all
D D7 G D
Sure I know every stone I'll recall every tree
Bm A D
Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me
[Verse 3]
D D7 G D
I would halt at a cabin close down by the shore
Bm E A
And I'd knock with my heart at that wee cabin door
D D7 G D
While the sun showered gold in the lap of the sea
Bm A D
And the green glens of Antrim were smiling at me
[Chorus]
G D Bm
Sure if only you knew how the lamp of the moon
D Bm E A
Turns a blue Irish bay to a silver lagoon
D D7 G D
You'd imagine a picture of heaven it would be
Bm A D
Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me.
[Verse 3]
D D7 G D
Now I'd be where the people are simple and so kind
Bm E A
And among them the one who has been on my mind
D D7 G D
Sure I pray that the world would in peace let me be
Bm A D
Where the green glens of Antrim are heaven to me
[Chorus]
G D Bm
Sure if only you knew how the lamp of the moon
D Bm E A
Turns a blue Irish bay to a silver lagoon
D D7 G D
You'd imagine a picture of heaven it would be
Bm A D
Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me.
