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.

[Verse 1]
A D E A
Tara's on my mind, getting worse as time goes by,
Bm C#m E Bm
I've got to make the time to see it once before I die,
A D E A
The slow train has no bar on board, but that won’t make me cry,
Bm C#m E Bm E
For thinkin' of you Tara, Lord I'm drunk enough to fly.
[Chorus]
A D Bm E
If you were a lass, you'd be my bride
Bm A
And our love would be a treasure,
E Bm E
Ever would we fly, beneath an Irish sky.
A D Bm E
If you were a dream, I'd stay asleep,
Bm A
And if dreams were made to measure,
E Bm
I'd be dreaming still, and I’d drink my fill,
E A
Tonight on Tara Hill.

And men have died around you, for Kings and Queens and peers
Bm C#m E Bm
But they left you as they found you, tho' your talked to them the same
A D E A
Songs of love and bravery, songs of yesteryear,
Bm C#m E Bm E
But the songs about your beauty are the songs I'd love to hear.
[Chorus]

If you were a lass, you'd be my bride
