The Irish Rovers

Dear Little Shamrock Shore

by The Irish Rovers
The Irish Rovers

Biography:

A popular and long-running Canadian-Irish folk group that saw their beginning in the 1960s, The Irish Rovers are particularly well-known for their hit recording of Shel Silverstein's "The Unicorn," although a great many more of their characteristically happy and oft-comical songs remain well-known to this day. In 2010, the band celebrated 45 years as recording artists, with their latest CD, "Gracehill Fair" and filming the DVD/television special "Home in Ireland", shot entirely on-location, throughout the northwest coast of Ireland.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Verse 1

C F G
Twas the landlords that drove us from Ireland
Am F G
High rents were our prison walls
Am F
Then the famine came round
G Am
And blackened the ground
F G C
And the auctioneers hammer did fall

Chorus

C F C
Farewell to the ones I adore
F Am Dm
And the land I will see never more
G7 C F
For I'm saying goodbye
G Am
With a tear in me eye
F G C
To the dear little shamrock shore

Verse 2

C F G
A ship lies in Fairbury harbour
Am F G
Barely safe over the foam
Am F
But to Halifax town
G Am
I soon will be bound
F G C
Far away from me native home


C F C
Farewell to the ones I adore
F Am Dm
And the land I will see never more
G7 C F
For I'm saying goodbye
G C
With a tear in me eye
F G C
To the dear little shamrock shore

Verse 3

C F G
Well they all came to wish me safe journey
Am F G
The parting still grieves on me mind
Am F
Me parents so dear
G Am
Me friends far and near
F G C
And the girl I left behind


C F C
Farewell to the ones I adore
F Am Dm
And the land I will see never more
G7 C F
For I'm saying goodbye
G C
With a tear in me eye
F G C
To the dear little shamrock shore

Verse 4

C F G
There's work to be had if your able
Am F G
The new world has treated me fine
Am F
With me shovel and spade
G Am
I toil at me trade
F G C
But riches will never be mine


C F C
Farewell to the ones I adore
F Am Dm
And the land I will see never more
G7 C F
For I'm saying goodbye
G C
With a tear in me eye
F G C
To the dear little shamrock shore

Verse 5

C F G
Well rivers still run to the ocean
Am F G
The wee birds on feathered wings soar
Am F
I dream of the day
G Am
When home I will stray
F G C
To the dear little shamrock shore



C F C
Farewell to the ones I adore
F Am Dm
And the land I will see never more
G7 C F
For I'm saying goodbye
G C
With a tear in me eye
F G C
To the dear little shamrock shore
