Chorus.
[C]I wish [D]that I was home [G]in Donegal
To [C]be with you be[D]side the see
To [Em]hear your sweet voice [C]calling me
[G]Back to my [D]home in Done[G]gal
[G]He walks upon the [Am]streets of New [D]Orleans
[G]There is a strange and [Am]unfamiliar look
[C]To every face he[D] sees.
[C]He came here for the [D]money
[G]The adventure and [C]the [Am]craic
[G]Now all he ever [Am]thinks about
Is [D]someday going [G]back
He misses all his family and friend
There are time that he would give all he has
To be with them again
Before
the young ones move away
The old ones are all gone.
Before his heart can realize
He ‘s been away too long.
Sometimes he lays there dreaming in the night
That he’ll get a job of extra work
He’ll save the
money for the flight
Lonely dreams in darkness
disappear before the dawn
Familiar faces fade away
All the dreams
are gone.
