C F C Am
When I was young and in my prime
F G
And could wander wild and free
C G7 C Am
There was always a longing in my mind
C G G7
To follow the call of the sea
[Chorus]
C F C Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford
C G G7
And farewell to Greenore
C F Em
And I'll think of you both day and night
Dm G
Untill I return once more,
F G C
Untill I return once more
[Verse]
C F C Am
On all the stormy seven seas
F G
I have sailed before the mast
C G7 C Am
And every voyage I ever made
C G G7
I swore it would be my last
[Chorus]
C F C Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford
C G G7
And farewell to Greenore
C F Em
And I'll think of you both day and night
Dm G
Untill I return once more,
F G C
Untill I return once more
[Verse]
C F C Am
And I had a girl called Mary Doyle
F G
And she lived in Greenore
C G7 C Am
And the foremost tho-ught in my mind
C G G7
Was to keep me safe onshore
[Chorus]
C F C Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford
C G G7
And farewell to Greenore
C F Em
And I'll think of you both day and night
Dm G
Untill I return once more,
F G C
Untill I return once more
[Verse]
C F C Am
A landman's life is all his own
F G
He can go or he can stay
C G7 C Am
But when the sea gets in your blood
C G G7
When she calls you must o-bey
[Chorus]
C F C Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford
C G G7
And farewell to Greenore
C F Em
And I'll think of you both day and night
Dm G
Untill I return once more,
F G C
Untill I return once more
[Chorus]
C F C Am
So I'll sing farewell to Carlingford
C G G7
And farewell to Greenore
C F Em
And I'll think of you both day and night
Dm G
Untill I return once more,
F G C
Untill I return once more
