It's a Long Way Home to Donegal

[G]  [Bm]  [C]  [D]  [G]  [D]

I'll [G]follow their father wherever you go,
I [Bm]know that I'll snow, we can bestow t[C]ogether,
With a [D]drink in our chest we'll be st[G]rong, we'll be str[D]ong

While I [G]love you dear mother, now, don't you frown,
I'll be [Bm]back some day without the grey skies,
We'll have [C]supper, toget[D]her again, we'll have su[G]pper, once [D]again

It's a [G]long way h[D]ome
It's a [C]long way h[D]ome to D[G]onegal  [D]

so f[G]arewell my beauty, my sweet young girl,
i'll [Bm]see you again, I'll marry you as well,
we'll make [C]love, have sweet ch[D]ildren, and make [G]love, once a[D]gain

Then [G]December the 12th, a letter it came,
It r[Bm]e-sung your young love, was laid by a fever last n[C]ight,
Oh no[D], I never sa[G]w, Oh, ag[D]ain

Chorus x 2

[G], [Bm], [C], [D], [G], [D] X2

Oh say s[G]o my brother, wherever we roam,
I l[Bm]ove you like the places we go,
and our f[C]riends smoke ci[D]garettes, and they're fr[G]iends, best of f[D]riends

Oh there's [G]no Irish blood, in our English years,
we fi[Bm]ght with our fists and swallow our fears,
and be [C]strong, with a d[D]rink in our chest we'll be s[G]trong, we'll be [D]strong
