E                D
Farewell to old Ireland
A               Bm
Goodbye to you, boundless strand
E               A
No time to look back
           E     C#m           D     A
Facing the wind, fighting the waves


[Verse 2]
E              A       D
May Heaven protect us all
      A                 Bm
From cold, hunger, and angry squalls
E                A                 E
Pray I won't be lost, wind in the sails
C#m       D
Carry me safe


[Chorus]
    E
So fare thee well, my own true love
      D            A         E
I'll think of you night and day
   A           E             A       E
A place in my mind, you will surely find
   D           A      D
Although I am so far away
     A        E          A         E
And when I'm alone, far away from home
      D            A               D
I'll think of the good times once more
  E
Until I can make it back someday here
    D             A        E
To Paddy's green shamrock shore


[Verse 3]
A              G
Out now on the ocean deep
D                      G       E
Ship's noise makes it hard to sleep
A                D
Tears fill up my eyes
     G        A    D      G
The image of you won't go away


[Chorus]
    E
So fare thee well, my own true love
      D            A         E
I'll think of you night and day
   A           E             A       E
A place in my mind, you will surely find
   D           A      D
Although I am so far away
     A        E          A         E
And when I'm alone, far away from home
      D            A               D
I'll think of the good times once more
  E
Until I can make it back someday here
    D             A        E
To Paddy's green shamrock shore


[Verse 4]
E               D
New York is in sight at last
Bm             D
My heart it is pounding fast
Bm                   D
Trying to be brave, wishing you near
D          A
By my side A Stór


[Chorus]
