[Verse 1]
[C]It [F]is [C]wel[G]l I know t[C]hat often
[F]folk[Dm]s keep wonde[C]ring
When in my eyes afar of
[Ebdim]ten they see[G]
What can [Dm]it be,
the [C]cause of [G]all my dream[Dm]ing?[G]
What is this [Dm]dream so very [G]dear to [C]me?[Dm]
[G]And truth to [C]tell, tis of my go [Dm]roam[C]ing
In dreams along the road of [Ebdim]memory,[G]
[Dm]To w[G]here my hear[Dm]t will
find its [G]consola[Dm]tion,
[G]Within that [Dm]lovely cottage [G]by the lee
[C]My [Am]home [C]sweet home[F]
that [C]I so f[Dm]ondly c[C]heri[G]sh
[C]The dear ones [Em]there mean
[Am]everything [D]to [Dm]me
[G]In all this [Dm]world, if there can [G]be a [Dm]heaven
[G]I'm sure it's in [Dm]that cottage [G]by the [C]lea[F][C]
[G]His granders sta[C]nd outside
that cot[F]tage door[C]way
And gaze across the corn[Ebdim]fields,
rich and [G]gold
[Dm]To h[G]ear the [Dm]stream go
[C]rippling [G]by the [Dm]meadow
[G]Or watch the [Dm]shepherd
calling [G]to his [C]foal
[Dm]From [C]down the lane
that winds behind [F]the [C]garden
The blackbird's greet
the smiling [Ebdim]summer mo[G]rn
[Dm]And [G]as his music[Dm] echoes
[G]o 'er the vall[Dm]ey
[G]You [Dm]smile and bless the day
that [G]you were [C]born
Yes, that's my dream,
my lovely [Dm]dream [D]of [G]homeland
And though I [Em]thought her
[Am]over [D]I could b[G]e
[Dm]It's [G]soon I fou[Dm]nd I left my
[G]heart [Dm]behind me
[G]Within that [Dm]lovely cottage [G]by the [C]lea
[F][C]
