[Verse 1]
[G]In the
fall of [Em]the year she [C]flew across the [G]ocean
To Ireland the [Em]land of her father[C]s[D]
[G]When we said goodbye[Em]
[C]a tear was in [G]her eye
I lost her then [Em]and there my Irish [C]an gel
[G]The[C] fir[G]st letter came s[Em]he
[C]said she loved it [G]there
And how [D]much [Em]she wished
I was [C]there with [D]her
[G]She wrote it on a h[Em]ill in a gen[C]tle Irish rai[G]n
I saw her in [Em]my mind my Ir[C]ish an[G]gel
[C]I wrote her back,
[D]but then [G]there was [C]no second letter
Just the silence [G]of the snow
that fell [D]around me
[G]I let her down I k[Em]now,
[C]the day I let her [G]go
Now she's found [D]someone [Em]else,
my Ir[C]ish an[G]gel[Em][C][G]
[Em][C][G][C][G]
First time [Em]I saw her,
[C]my heart went in [G]a spin
When they [D]speak of [Em]love they call [C]it falling[D]
[G]It was like I hel[Em]d my breath,
[C]'till I laid eyes on [G]her again
So beautiful she [Em]was my Ir[C]ish an[G]gel[Bm]
[C]And when a stolen gla[D]nce
[G]led to a s[C]tolen kiss
I thought I knew [G]the chance
that I was [D]taking
But [G]oh I nev[Em]er knew [C]a love
as strong as [G]this
Or what [D]it was to [Em]feel my own [C]heart break[G]ing
[Em][C][G][Em][C]
[D][G][Em][C][G][D][Em][C]
[G]
[C]So now I raise a g[D]lass and[G]
then I raise [C]another
One to for[G]get, one to [D]remember
And [G]one just to [Em]dream [C]of how
things could have [G]been
If I [D]hadn't [Em]lost my [C]Irish angel
[G]One just to dre[Em]am of [C]how
things could [G]have been
If I [D]hadn't [Em]lost my Ir[C]ish angel
[G]
