Intro, [G] [D] [A] [D]
I [D]said farewell to [G]dear old dad and kissed
my mother good[D]bye
Then [G]turned away be[D]fore did see the [Em]tears form in my eyes
A[D]long the winding [G]leafy
lane where in childhood we would [D]play
With [G]heartache and old[D] memories I [A]sadly made my [D]way.
So [D]many folks have [G]left their homes through strife and pover[D]ty
Yet [G]somehow we could [D]struggle by,
just [Em]mother dad and me,[A]
But [D]things went wrong be[G]tween me and the girl I called my [D]own
And [G]I left
Castle[D]blaney, my [A]people [G]and my [D]home.

I[Eb] visualized the [Ab]hedge-rows on the road I used to [Eb]go
I
[Ab]see the town of [Eb]Blaney. and the [Fm]Lakes Of Lough Knock Muckno
A[Eb]round the old Hope [Ab]Castle where so often
I would [Eb]roam,
I [Ab]dream of Castle[Eb]blaney my old [Ab]people and my [Eb]home.
The
[Eb]harbour lights are [Ab]fading as I leave this foreign [Eb]shore
And I [Ab]watched the dark ho[Eb]rizon that I [Fm]mean
to see no more
To the [Eb]land that holds the [Ab]legend of the fairy and the [Eb]gnome,
Going [Ab]back to Castle[Eb]blaney
my old [Ab]people and my [Eb]home
Going [Ab]back to Castle[Eb]blaney my old [Ab]people and my [Eb]home
