[A] [F#m] [A]
Take me [A]back where the grass grows the geenest
In a [D]little Emerald garden
in the [A]sea
Take me back [D]where the girls are the prettiest [A]in the world
And it [D]lays in the heart of [A]me.
People [F#m]ask me where I come from back [A]in Ireland,
Dun[F#m]gannon Connemara or Tra[A]lee,
Dublin [F#m]Derry
Donegal I end up living in them all
And I [D]tell them they mean all the same to [F#m]me.
I
[A]come from where the grass grows the greenest
In a [D]little Emerald garden in the [A]sea
I come [D]from where the
girls are the [A]prettiest in the world
And it [D]lays in the heart of [A]me.
[F#m]Were
you born in that old cottage [A]by the border ?
Of [F#m]Galway or Mayo or in Kil[A]dare,
It had [F#m]little to do with
me where me[A] mamma happened to be
But [D[bless you mam for [F#m]being where you were
I
was [A]born where the grass [D]grows the [A]greenest
In a [D]little Emerald garden in the [A]sea
I come [D]from where
the girls are the [A]prettiest in the world
And it [D]lays in the heart [A]of me.
Do
you belong to Cork or Tipperary ?
Or Sligo near the Isle Of Innisfree ?
Do you belong to Sion Mills or among the Wicklow
Hills
I do and I feel you all belong to me.
I belong where the grass grows the greenest
In
a little Emerald garden in the sea
I belong where the girls are the prettiest in the world
And it lays in the heart
of me.
