C G/B Am
I am high upon a mountain
C C/G D
When morning calls around it
G F Am
Where I was all with my love

Birds fly upon the wing

There horses go a-riding
Am C/G D
And messengers bring tidings

And every day they sail away
F G
Like the sun beneath the sea

N.C. C G/B C
Search where no ships are sailing
Am G
No sound of hearts breaking

Or down in deepest Africa
G C
No one will find him there

But down the sounds of evening
Am C/G D
In days of my love leaving

You will hear the dance rise all around

The Isle of Malachy

And they burn at my eyes dreaming

Of a fire to melt the sea

I will go with light and thunder

And tell each soul and stranger

The tale and history
