[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
D C G
A moment in time, rosin the bow
F
Sound the strings of years ago
G F C
A sunlit room at Glenties fair
Dm C F G
A traveller plays a haunting air
[Verse 2]
D C G
A story told, the laughter peel
F
The fiddler strikes another reel
G F C
The music lifts, the tapping toe
Dm C F G
The listeners call for "Séan sa Cheo"
[Chorus]
C D7 C D
Feel his art lift the heart
C D7 C
Sense the spirits rise and fall
F G
A fiddler plays in Donegal
[Verse 3]
D C G
But the story resounds, the tune rings on

The given note, the given song
G F C
And now a child lifts the master's bow
Dm C F G
A moment in time from years ago
[Chorus]

Feel his art lift the heart

Sense the spirits rise and fall

A fiddler plays in Donegal
