[Intro]

D D7 G D
Bm A7 D


[Verse 1]

D D7 G D
The Garden of Eden has vanished they say
Bm A7 D
But I know the lie of it still
D D7 G D
Just turn to the left at the bridge of Finea
Bm A D
And stop when halfway to Coothill
G D Bm
It's there I will find it I know sure enough
A E7 A7
When fortune has come to my call
D D7 G D
Oh the grass it is green around Ballyjamesduff
Bm A7 D
And the blue sky is over it all
G D Bm
And tones that are tender and tones that are gruff
A E7 A7
Are whispering over the sea,
D D7 G D
Come back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff
Bm A7 D
Come back Paddy Reilly to me


[Verse 2]

D D7 G D
My mother once told me that when I was born
Bm A7 D
The day that I first saw the light
D D7 G D
I looked down the street on that very first morn
Bm A D
And gave a great crow of delight
G D Bm
Now most new born babies appear in a huff
A E7 A7
And start with a sorrowful squall
D D7 G D
But I know I was born down in Ballyjamesduff
Bm A7 D
And that's why I smile on them all
G D Bm
The baby's a man now, he's toil-worn and tough
A E7 A7
Still whispers from over the sea
D D7 G D
Come back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff
Bm A7 D
Come back Paddy Reilly to me


[Verse 3]

D D7 G D
The night that we danced by the light of the moon
Bm A7 D
With Phil to the fore with his flute
D D7 G D
When Phil threw his lip over Come Again Soon
Bm A D
He'd dance the foot out of your boot
G D Bm
The day that I took Long Magee by the scruff
A E7 A7
For slandering Rosie Kilrain
D D7 G D
Then marching him straight out of Ballyjamesduff
Bm A7 D
Assisted him into a drain
G D Bm
Oh sweet are me dreams as the dudeen I puff
A E7 A7
Of whisperings over the sea
D D7 G D
Come back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff
Bm A7 D
Come back Paddy Reilly to me


[Verse 4]

D D7 G D
I've loved the young women of ev-er-y land
Bm A7 D
That always came easy to me
D D7 G D
Just barring the belles of the Black-a-more brand
Bm A D
And chocolate shapes of Feegee
G D Bm
But that sort of stuff is a moon-shining stuff
A E7 A7
And never will raddle me brain
D D7 G D
For bells will be ringing in Ballyjamesduff
Bm A7 D
For me and me Rosie Kilrain
G D Bm
And all through their glamour, their gass and their guff
A E7 A7
A whisper comes over the sea
D D7 G D
Come back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff
Bm A7 D
Come back Paddy Reilly to me
