G   C D
G   C D
[Verse]
Oft Gof a pleasant Dmorning, Csunshine all aDdorning
I heard a horn give Cwarning with the birds' mellow Dcall
GBadgers flee beDfore us, Cwoodcocks startle Do'er us
Guns in a ringing Cchorus, amid the echoes Dall
[Verse]
The fox runs high and higher, horseCmen shouting nigher
The Gmaid in mourning Dby her Cgeese that are all Dgone
GNow they fell the Dwildwoods, Cfarewell home of Dchildhood
Oh, Sean o Duibhir a'Cghleanna, your day is Do'er
[Verse]
For it Gis my sorrow Dsorest, Cwoe the falling Dforest
The Gnorth wind brings me Dno rest, and Cdeath is in the Dsky
My Gfaithful hound tied Dtightly, Cnever sporting Dbrightly
Who would make a child laugh Clightly with the tears in his Deye
[Verse]
The antlered, noble-hearted stags Care never parted
NeGver chased nor Dstarted Cfrom the whinny Dhills
Oh, if Gpeace came but the Dsmall way, I Cwould journey down on DGalway
And leave, though not for Calways, my Erin of the Dhills
[Instrumental]
G   C D
G   C D
G   C D
G   C D
[Verse]
My Gwoe and Druin through Csinless death unDdoing
Came not o'er the strewing of Call my bright Dhopes
How Goft on sunny Dmorning, I would Cwatch the spring reDturning
The autumn leaves are Cfalling and the dew on woodland Dslopes
[Verse]
Now my land is a-plunder, far Cmy friends asunder
GI must hide me Dunder Cbranch or bramble Dscreen
And if Gsoon I cannot Dsave me, by Cflight from foes who Dcrave me
Then, Sean o Duibhir a'Cghleanna, death will come beDtween

[Intro]

G C D

[Verse]

G D C D

Oft of a pleasant morning, sunshine all adorning

C D

I heard a horn give warning with the birds' mellow call

G D C D

Badgers flee before us, woodcocks startle o'er us

C D

Guns in a ringing chorus, amid the echoes all

[Verse]

The fox runs high and higher, horsemen shouting nigher

G D C D

The maid in mourning by her geese that are all gone

G D C D

Now they fell the wildwoods, farewell home of childhood

C D

Oh, Sean o Duibhir a'ghleanna, your day is o'er

[Verse]

G D C D

For it is my sorrow sorest, woe the falling forest

G D C D

The north wind brings me no rest, and death is in the sky

G D C D

My faithful hound tied tightly, never sporting brightly

C D

Who would make a child laugh lightly with the tears in his eye

[Verse]

The antlered, noble-hearted stags are never parted

G D C D

Never chased nor started from the whinny hills

Oh, if peace came but the small way, I would journey down on Galway

And leave, though not for always, my Erin of the hills

G D C D

My woe and ruin through sinless death undoing

C D

Came not o'er the strewing of all my bright hopes

G D C D

How oft on sunny morning, I would watch the spring returning

The autumn leaves are falling and the dew on woodland slopes

[Verse]

Now my land is a-plunder, far my friends asunder

G D C D

I must hide me under branch or bramble screen

G D C D

And if soon I cannot save me, by flight from foes who crave me

C D

Then, Sean o Duibhir a'ghleanna, death will come between
