Beautiful City Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I have sought to discover
a [G]haven of [D]rest
Where the sun sinks by night
in the [A]land of the [D]West
I have dwelt with the red man
in [G]green forest [D]bowers,
Are [A]the wild rolling prairie
bespangled [D]with flowers.
I have hided to the north
where the [G]hardy pine [D]grows,
Mid the [A]wolf and the bear
and the [D]bleak winter snows.
I have roamed through all climates,
but [G]none could I [D]see
Like the [A]green hills of Cork,
and my home by the [D]Leam.
Beautiful city, charming and [G]pretty,
[A]Beautiful city, my home by the [D]Leam.[A][D]
I have slumbered in palm groves
by [G]clear running [D]streams,
And the [A]wild groves of Larny
come [D]haunting my dreams.
I have listened to bells
on the [G]soft summer [D]wind,
But the [A]sweet bells of Shandon
were dear to my [D]mind.
I have mixed in gay dances
my [G]sorrow to [D]hide,
But there's [A]none like the maiden
that's [D]now by my side.
There is naught in the land
of the [G]slave or the [D]freem,
Like the [A]green hills of Cork
and my home by the [D]Leve.
Beautiful city, charming and [G]pretty,
Beau[A]tiful city, my home by the [D]lee.[A][D]
The bold feudal castle
looks [G]down on the [D]Rhine
That [A]flows through the land
of the [D]olive and vine.
There's freedom and health
in the [G]fresh mountain [D]breeze
That ca[A]reers round the home of the
[D]There is beauty and love
in all [G]spots of the [D]earth
To the [A]heart that can call it
the [D]land of its birth
But of all the fair countries,
the [G]dearest to me
[D]Are the [A]green hills of Cork
and my home by the [D]Lee
Beautiful city, charming and [G]pretty,
[A]Beautiful city,
my [D]home by the [G]leaf.[A][D][A][D]
