 christy uses some variations on the high e-string and on the rute notes to make
 the song softer. i didnt figure them out, but i'm sure you can by just trying. ah
 and the song's in 3/4!
You  may travel far far  from your own  native home
 Far away  o'er the mountains far away  o'er the foam
 But of all  the fine places that I've  ever seen,
 There's none  to compare with The Cliffs  of Dooneen
Take  a view o'er the  water fine sights  you'll see there
 You'll see the high  rocky slopes on the West  coast of Clare
 The towns  of Kilkee and Kilrush  can be seen
 From the high  rocky slopes at The Cliffs  of Dooneen
It's  a nice place to be  on a fine  Summer's day
 Watching all  the wild flowers that ne'er  do decay
 The hare  and lofty pheasant are plain  to be seen
 Making homes  for their young round The Cliffs  of Dooneen
Fare  thee well to Dooneen  fare thee well  for a while
 And to all  the fine people I'm leaving  behind
 To the streams  and the meadows where late  I have been
 And the high  rocky slopes of The Cliffs  of Dooneen
 have fun with that great song :)
