Take Me Home To Mayo

	G	D
Take	me home to mayo,across the Irish	sea,

	D7	G
Home to dear old Mayo where	once I roamed so	free,

	C
Take me home to Mayo,and let my body	lie,

	G	D	D7	G
Home at last in	Mayo,	beneath an	Irish	sky.

My name is Michael Gaughin,from Ballina I came,
I saw my country suffering,and swore to break the chains,
Iraised the flag inEngland,prepared to fight or die,
Far away from Mayo,beneath an Irish sky.

My body cold and hungry,in Parkhurst jail I lie,
For the loving of my country,on hunger strike I die,
I have just one last longing,I pray you'll not deny,
Bury me inMayo,beneath an Irish sky.
