[Verse 1]
                           Bbm(     Ab   Fm)
A ↑Stór Mo Chroí, when you're   far a↓way
         (               Bbm    Ab)   Bbm  
From the   home that you'll soon be leaving
                 Bbm(            Ab   Fm)
It's many a time by   night and by day
          (            Bbm    Ab)  Bbm  
That your   heart will be sorely grieving
        (         Bbm   Db)        (          Fm   Bbm)
For the   stranger's land may be ↑-bright and fair
    (           Gb    Db)     (  Bbm   Fm)
And   rich in its treasures ↑-gol-den
       (      Bbm   Db)          (     Ab   Fm)
You'll   pine, I know, for the   long ago
        (           Bbm   Fm)  Bbm  
And the   love that is never olden
[Verse 2]
                      Bbm(          Ab   Fm)
A ↑Stór Mo Chroí, in the   stranger's land
         (        Bbm    Ab)      Bbm  
There is   plenty of wealth and wailing
                  Bbm(         Ab    Fm)
While gems adorn the   great and grand
          (         Bbm   Ab)   Bbm  
There are   faces with hunger pailing
    (      Bbm   Db)       (       Fm   Bbm)
The   road is weary, and ↑-hard to tread
        (               Gb    Db)  (    Bbm   Fm)
And the   lights of their cities ↑-blind you
         (     Bbm    Db)    (      Ab     Fm)
Wont you   turn A Stor, to   Erin's shore
        (            Bbm    Fm)  Bbm  
And the   love that you left behind you

[Verse 3]
                        Bbm(         Ab   Fm)
A ↑Stór Mo Chroí, when the   evening's sun
     (           Bbm   Ab)      Bbm  
Over   mountain and meadow is falling
                          Bbm(          Ab    Fm)
Wont you turn away, from the   throng and list
    (           Bbm   Ab)    Bbm  
And   maybe you'll hear me calling
        (         Bbm    Db)         (      Fm   Bbm)
For the   sound of a voice that is ↑-surely min-e
    (          Gb   Db)    (  Bbm    Fm)
For   somebody's speedy re↑tur-ning
  (     Bbm    Db)          (         Ab    Fm)
A   rún, a rún, won't you   come back soon
       (            Bbm    Fm)  Bbm  
To the   one that will always love you
