Eamon Friel - Farewell Mayo
[Intro]
D G A D
[Verse 1]
G D A G A
When the schools got out for summer I got started
D G A D
On the long awaited journey to the west
G D Em A
I was feeling so excited and light hearted
D G A D
I was heading for the place that I loved best
[Verse 2]
G A D A G A
And the bus said "Sligo" on the destination
D G A D
On down through Barnsmore Gap and Ballintra
G D Em A
Then you got another bus at Sligo station
D G A D
And the Freestate writing spelt out Ballina
[Chorus]
Am G
At Enniscrone the broad Atlantic
D G A
Meant that you hadn't far to go
Dm C
And when you saw the top of Nephin
G A7
You knew you'd landed in Mayo
N.C. D G A D
God bless Mayo
[Verse 3]
G A D A G A
Friendly hands to take your hand and say he's bigger
D G A D
Hefty arms to hoist you high and hug you hard
G D Em A
Take the road through Crossmolina to the river
D G A D
And the sideroad takes you back to Garranard
[Chorus]
Am G
And I knew every windy corner
D G A
Of the little fields below
Dm C
And every ripple of that river
G A7
'Cross the stepping stones I'd go
N.C. D G A D
There in Mayo
[Verse 4]
G A D A G A
When the day came to go back, my heart was bleeding
D G A D
With a grief that seems relentless when you're small
G D Em A
They say every child should have his share of Eden
D G A D
But a city child needs Eden most of all
[Chorus]
Am G
Back to the darkening streets of Derry
D G A
Broken hearted I must go
Dm C
Far from the splendour and the silence
G A7
And the wonder of Mayo
N.C. D G A D
Farewell Mayo
