Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]'Tis[A] wel[D]l I know that
[Ddim]often folk keep wo[D]nd'ring
When in my eyes a [Bm]far
[Fdim]off look they see[A]
What it can [Em]be the cause
[A]of all my [Em]dreaming
[A]What is this dre[Em]am so very dea[A]r to me?[D]
And, truth to tell, 'tis of[Ddim]ten I go roam[D]ing
In dreams along [Bm]the road [Bdim]of memo[Fdim]ry[A]
To where my [Em]heart will find
[A]its consola[Em]tion[A]
Within the [Em]lovely cottage [A]by the [D]Lee
My home, [G]sweet home that
I so fondly [D]cherish
The dear ones there [E]mean ev'rything [A]to me
In all this [Em]world,
if there [A]can be a [Em]heaven[A]
I'm sure it's [Em]in that cottage
[A]by the [D]Lee

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em][A][D]

[Verse 2]
'Tis well I [D]stand outside
[Ddim]that cottage doo[D]rway

[Verse 3]
And gaze [D]across the corn [Fdim]fields
rich [Em]and gold[C#dim][Em][A]
To hear [Em]the stream go
rippling [A]by [Em]the meadow
[A]Or watch the[Em] shepherd
call[A]ing to his [D]fold
From down the lane that winds
[Ddim]behind the g[D]arden
The blackbird greets the smil
[Bdim]ing summer[Fdim] morn[A]
And as his [Em]music echoes [A]o'er [Em]the valley
[A]You smile and[Em] bless the day
that [A]you were [D]born
[Em]Yes, that'[D]s my dream[G],
my lovely dream of [D]homeland
And though I thought a rover [E]I could b[A]e
It's soon I [Em]found I left [A]my
heart be[Em]hind [A]me
Within that [Em]lovely cottage [A]by [D]the [Em]Lee[A]
[D]
