[Verse 1]
G C
I’ve met some folk who say that I'm a dreamer
Am7 D7 G
And I’ve no doubt there's truth in what they say
D D11 G G7 G7+ C
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
A7 D7 G C
When all the things he loves are far away
[Verse 2]
G D11 G C
And precious things are dreams unto an exile
Am7 D7 G
They take him o’er the land across the sea
D D11 G G7 G7+ C
Es-pecially when it happens he's an exile
A7 D7 G
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree
[Chorus 1]
Am7 Bm C G
And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops
A7 D7
Of this great city, wondrous tho' it be
D11 G G7 G7+ C
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
A7 D7 G C
I'm once a-gain back home in Innis-free
[Verse 3]
G D11 G C
I wander o’er green hills through dreamy valleys
Am7 D7 G
And find a peace no other land could know
D D11 G G7 G7+ C
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
A7 D7 G C
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow
[Verse 4]
G D G C
And then in-to a humble shack I wan-der,
Am7 D7 G
My dear old home, and tenderly be-hold.
D D11 G G7 G7+ C
The folks I love a-round the turf fire gathered,
A7 D7 G C
On bended knees their rosary is told
[Chorus 2]
G Am7 Bm C G
But dreams don't last, though dreams are not for-gotten
A7 D7
And soon I'm back to stern realit-y
D11 G G7 G7+ C
But though they paved the footways here with gold dust
A7 D7 G C G
I still would choose my Isle of Innis-free
