[Dm]We left our homeland for fortune and fame, 
Never go back, never return,
                                                                                      

[AmTies that bind can never be cut,  
An Irish lulla[Dm]by,

[DmDrawn back to old Ireland regardless of will,

Don’t want to go back, We know that we’ll go,
                                                                                                 
[Am]Walk into Ireland, back to the past,   
An Irish lulla[Dmby,

[Dm]Wander down lanes, wander through fields,

Wander through graveyards and let your mind bleed,
                                                                                                  
[Am]With memories of people, memories of past,  
An Irish lulla[Dmby,

                                                         
[Dm7]Old songs, old times, old faces appear,  
[G]Come back to haunt when defences are down,
                                                                                                                     
[Dm7]Nothing to say, nothing to do,         
They’ll [G]find their way in when defences are [Dm]down, 

[Dm]Surrounded by family surrounded by friends,

Words in the present, thoughts from the past,
                                                                                                  
[Am]Old faces appear and make you cry,   
An Irish lulla[Dm]by,

                                                        
[Dm7]Old songs, old times, old faces appear,  
[G]Come back to haunt when defences are down,
                                                                                                                   
[Dm7]Nothing to say, nothing to do,        
They’ll [G]find their way in when defences are [Dm7]down, 

                                                                                                                             
[Dm7]Nothing to say, nothing to do,        
They’ll [G]find their way in when defences are [Dm]down,
