C
The Green and Red of Mayo
F
I can see it still
C
It's soft and craggy bogland
F
It's tall majestic hills
G
Where the ocean kisses Ireland
F
And the waves carress it's shore
C
The feeling it came over me
F
To stay forever more
C
Forever more
C
From it's rolling coastal waters
F
I can see Croagh Patrick's peak
C
Where one Sunday every Summer
F
The pilgrims climb the reek
G
Where Saint Patrick in it's solitude
F
Looked down across Clew Bay
C
With a ringing of his bell
F
Called the faithful there to pray
C
There to pray
C
Take me to Clare Island
F
The home of Granuaile
C
It's waters harbour fishes
F
From the herring to the whale
G
And now I must depart it
F
And reality is plain
C
May the time not pass so slowly
F
Before I set sail again
C
Set sail again
