Dear Old Donegal Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]It seems like only yesterday
I [F]sailed from out of [C]Cork
Now [F]on my way from [C]Erin's [Am]Isle
I [D]landed in New [G]York
There [C]wasn't a soul to greet me there,
a [F]stranger on the [C]shore
That [F]Irish [F#dim]luck was [C]with me [Am]here
and [Dm]riches [G]came [C]galore
So now I'm going back again
to [F]dear old Erin's [C]Isle
[G]My [F]friends will [F#dim]greet me on [C]the pier,
[Am]
[D]and meet me with a s[G]mile.
Their [C]faces you'll almost forget,
I've [F]been so [C]long away.
For me [F]mother will introduce [C]them [Am]all,
and [D]this is [G]what she'll [C]say.
Shake hands with your uncle Mike, me boy,
and [F]here's your sister [C]Kate.
And [F]here's the girl you [C]used to
[Am]swing down [D]on the garden [G]gate.
Shake [C]hands with all the neighbours,
and [F]kiss the Collings [C]all.
You're [F]as welcome as the [C]flowers in [Am]May
to [D]dear old [G]Donnygole. [C]The[F]n c[C]ame[Am] Bra[Dm]nigan[G], F[C]lanagan, Milligan, Gilligan, Duffy, McGuffey, Malachy, Malone, Raff[D]erty, Laf[G]ferty, D[C]onnelly, Connolly, Dooley, O 'Hooley,[Cm][C]

Shake [C]hands with all the neighbours,
