*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Déanta - The Green Fields Of Canada
[Verse 1]
N.C.
So pack up your sea-stores, consider no longer
For ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay
N.C.
With no taxes or tithes to devour up your wages
When you're on the green fields of Amerikay
[Verse 2]
FareCwell to the Ggroves of shilFlelagh and Amshamrock
FareCwell to the Dmwee girls of FIreland all 'Amround
May your Chearts be as Gmerry as Fever I would Amwish them
When Cfar, far aDmway across the Focean I'm Ambound
[Verse 3]
Well, me Ffather is Dmold, and me Gmother is quite Amfeeble
To Fleave their own Dmcountry, it Ggrieves their heart AmsoreG__
Oh, the Ftears in great Dmdrops, down their Fcheeks they are Amrolling
To Fthink they must Dmdie uGpon some foreign AmshoreF  G  
[Verse 4]
The Csheep run unGsheared, and the Fland's gone to Amrushes
The Chandyman's Dmgone, and the Fwinder of Amcreels
ACway across the Gocean go Fjourneyman Amtailors
And Cfiddlers that Dmplayed out the Fold mountain Amreels
[Verse 5]
Ah, but CI mind the Gday when old FIreland was Amflourishing
And when Clots of hard Dmtradesmen did Fwork for good Ampay
Ah, but Csince our manuGfacturies have Fcrossed the AtAmlantic
Sure it's Cthere we must Dmfollow to FAmeriAmkay
[Verse 6]
And it's Fnow to conDmclude and to Gfinish my Amstory
If Fever friendless DmIrishmen Gchances my AmwayG__
With the Fbest in the Dmhouse, I will Fgreet him and Amwelcome
Far aFway on the Dmgreen fields of GAmeriAmkay

Déanta - The Green Fields Of Canada

[Verse 1]

N.C.

So pack up your sea-stores, consider no longer

For ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay

N.C.

With no taxes or tithes to devour up your wages

When you're on the green fields of Amerikay

[Verse 2]

C G F Am

Farewell to the groves of shillelagh and shamrock

C Dm F Am

Farewell to the wee girls of Ireland all 'round

C G F Am

May your hearts be as merry as ever I would wish them

C Dm F Am

When far, far away across the ocean I'm bound

[Verse 3]

F Dm G Am

Well, me father is old, and me mother is quite feeble

F Dm G Am G

To leave their own country, it grieves their heart sore__

F Dm F Am

Oh, the tears in great drops, down their cheeks they are rolling

F Dm G Am F G

To think they must die upon some foreign shore

[Verse 4]

C G F Am

The sheep run unsheared, and the land's gone to rushes

C Dm F Am

The handyman's gone, and the winder of creels

C G F Am

Away across the ocean go journeyman tailors

C Dm F Am

And fiddlers that played out the old mountain reels

[Verse 5]

C G F Am

Ah, but I mind the day when old Ireland was flourishing

C Dm F Am

And when lots of hard tradesmen did work for good pay

C G F Am

Ah, but since our manufacturies have crossed the Atlantic

C Dm F Am

Sure it's there we must follow to Amerikay

[Verse 6]

F Dm G Am

And it's now to conclude and to finish my story

F Dm G Am G

If ever friendless Irishmen chances my way__

F Dm F Am

With the best in the house, I will greet him and welcome

F Dm G Am

Far away on the green fields of Amerikay
