Dear old donegal Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]It seems like only yesterday
I [F]sailed from out of [C]Cork
A [F]one hour from [Am]Aarons [A]Isle
I [D]landed in New York
[G]There [C]wasn't a soul to greet me there,
a [F]stranger on the [C]shore
But [F]Irish luck was [C]with me here
and [Dm]riches [G]came galore
[C]So now I'm going back again
to [F]dear old Aarons [C]Isle
My [F]friends will meet me [Am]on the pier
and [D]greet me with a [G]smile
Their [C]faces sure I've almost forgot,
I've [F]been so long away
[C]But me mot[F]her will introduc[Am]e them all,
and [Dm]this to [G]me she'll [C]say
Shake hands with your uncle Mike,
me boy,
and [F]here's your sister Kate
[C]And her[F]e's the gir[F#dim]l you used[Am]
to [A]swing down [D]by the garden gate
[G]Shake han[C]ds with all of the neighbours,
and [F]kiss the colleagues all
[C]You're as wel[F]come as the flo[Am]wers in May
to [D]dear old [G]Donegal[C][Am][F#dim][C][D][G]
[C]There came Branigan, Flanagan,
Milligan, Gilligan, Duffy, McGuffey, Malack[D]y, [G]Malone, [C]Rafferty, Lafferty, Donnelly, Connelly, Dooley, O 'Hooley, Muldowney, Malone, Ryan, O 'Brien,
Herlanahan, Flanahan, Fagan, O [G]'Hagan, O [D]'Hoolahan, [G]Flynn, Shanahan, Manahan, [C]Forgerty, Hogarty, Kelly, O 'Kelly, McGin[G]nis, [C]McGinn
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike,
me boy,
and [F]here's your Sister Kate
[C]And the[F]re's the girl you use[C]d to
[A]swing down [D]by the garden gate
[G]Shake han[C]ds with all of the neighbours,
and [F]kiss the collings all
[C]And we'll liv[F]e content in pai[C]n,
our Elton [Dm]dear old [G]Donny [C]Goal[F][C]
