Biografía:
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]
A D
I am a young fellow who sails a salt sea
E A
Byhearted wherever I roam
A D
Until thine sweet Anne from the town of Tralee
E A
And now I think only of home
A D
When I am out on the ocean there far
E A
I dream that I’m holding her tight
A D
For her I would raid the moon and the stars
E A
Just to lie in her arms through the night
[Chorus]
D E A A
Oh if I had the wings of an eagle
A D E E
I'd fly to my love on the shore
A D E E
And never again would I leave her
B E A
For she is the girl I adore
B E A
[Verse 2]
A D
They married that spring and contented were they
E A
As only true lovers can be
A D
But his captain did call That he had to obey
E A
And return one last time to the sea
[Chorus]
D E A A
Oh if I had the wings of an eagle
A D E E
I'd fly to my love on the shore
A D E E
And never again would I leave her
B E A
For she is the girl I adore
B E A
[Verse 3]
A D
A storm it is raging The sails are all torn
E A
Our ship it is far from the land
A D
I grieve for my life Though I face death with scorn
E A
But I grieve ten times more for sweet Anne
[Chorus]
D E A A
Oh if I had the wings of an eagle
A D E E
I'd fly to my love on the shore
A D E E
And never again would I leave her
B E A
For she is the girl I adore
