[Verse 1]
C
There's a tear in your eye, and I'm wondering why
G7 C
For it never should be there at all
G7
With such power in your smile
C A7
Sure a stone you'd bequile
D7 G7
So there's never a teardrop should fall
C
When your sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song
G7 C C7 F
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be
D7 G
You should laugh all the while and all other times smile
D7 G
And now smile a smile for me
[Chorus]
C F C
When Irish eyes are smiling, sure'n tis like a morn in spring
F C A7 D7 G
In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing
C C7 F C
When Irish hearts are happy All the world seems bright and gay
F C- C A7 D7 G7 C
And when Irish eyes are smiling Sure they steal your heart away
[Verse 2]
C
For your smile is a part, of the love in your heart
G7 C
And it makes even sunshine more bright
G7
Like the linnet's sweet song
C A7
Crooning all the day long
D7 G7
Comes your laughter and light
C
For the springtime of life, is the sweetest of all
G7 C
And there is ne'er a real care or regret
G7
And while springtime is ours
C A7
Throughout all of youth's hours
D7 G
Let us smile each chance we get
[Chorus]
C F C
When Irish eyes are smiling, sure'n tis like a morn in spring
F C A7 D7 G
In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing
C C7 F C
When Irish hearts are happy All the world seems bright and gay
F C- C A7 D7 G7 C
And when Irish eyes are smiling Sure they steal your heart away
D G D
When Irish eyes are smiling, sure'n tis like a morn in spring
G D B7 E7 A
In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing
D D7 G D
When Irish hearts are happy All the world seems bright and gay
G D- D B7 E7 A7 D
And when Irish eyes are smiling Sure they steal your heart away
