Biography:
The Fureys is an Irish folk band that initially performed and recorded as The Fureys & Davey Arthur with family friend Davey Arthur. The name eventually simplified to The Fureys when Arthur no longer performed with them after 1993 (though he returned for a number of recordings until he had a stroke in 2014).
Prior to 1976, two of the Furey brothers toured as a duo Finbar & Eddie Furey. Meanwhile, their brother Paul Furey had, together with brother George, and family friend Davey Arthur and Brendan Leeson, been in the band The Buskers.

Such a beautiful song. This is my first submission, hope it's correct!
.
Capo on 1:st fret
.
C D G
I wish that I was home in Donegal
C D
To be with you beside the sea
Em C
To hear your sweet voice calling me
G D G
Back to my home in Donegal
.
.
G Am D
He walks upon the streets of New Orleans
G Am
There is a strange and unfamiliar look
C D
To every face he sees.
C D
He came here for the money
G C Am
The adventure and the craic
G Am
Now all he ever thinks about
D G
Is someday going back
.
.
[chorus]
.
.
G Am D
He misses all his family and friends
G Am
There's times when he'd give all he has
C D
Just to be with them again
C D
Before the young ones move away
G C Am
The old ones are all gone.
G Am
Before his heart can realize
D G
He's been away too long.
.
.
[chorus]
.
.
G Am D
Sometimes he lays there dreaming in the night
G Am
To get a job of extra work
C D
He?ll save the money for the flight
C D
But lonely dreams in darkness
G C Am
disappear before the dawn
G Am
Familiar faces fade away
D G
All the dreams are gone.
