Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Farewell My Green Valleys
| D | G | D | G |
The | seagulls are | calling,and the | wind is in the | sails, |
| D | A |
And she's | fast moving out over the | sea, |
| D | G | D | G |
On a | ship bound for | St.John three | thousand miles a | way, |
| D | G | D |
A human | cargo my com | rades and | me. |
(Chorus)
| D | G | D | A |
Farewell | my Green | valleys God | keep you the | same, |
| D | G | A |
If in | only my | mind you will | be, |
| D | G | D | G |
I'm | sailing dark | waters,to | far Ameri | ca, |
| D | G | D |
Never | more my Green | valleys t | see. |
It hurts me to think of the things I left behind,
And the famine has blackened our land
And to look now for something,that I may never find,
Is a problim that's closer to hand.
There's a fever a raging,and the wind has died away,
And the jorney can no longer be,
And the plague is a shadow,that lingers night and day,
And more thoughts of Green lalleys I'll see
