irish eyes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]My mother says I have Irish eyes
Irish eyes, Irish eyes
My mother says I have Irish eyes
They go ever so [G]blue under stormy [C]skies
But they're never so [G]blue
as when I [C]let them cry

[Verse 2]
[C]My father says I have English hair
English hair, English hair
Brown like the bark of an [G]oak [C]somewhere
Like the bed of a lake [G]where
the hemlock grows
Like [C]the thorn in the stem
[G]of an [F]English [C]rose[F]
[C]I'm a map

[Verse 3]
of the world
and the ones before
One foot in sea and one onshore
Every step, every hope flung [F]high
I'm [C]a map of them all with my Irish eyes

[Verse 4]
My nana says I have [C]travelling feet
Travelling feet, [F]travelling [C]feet
Slippers for princesses don't fit me
But I [Am]dance to my [G]own drum,
[F]bright and bold
And my [Am]travelling [G]feet always [F]get me [C]home

[Verse 5]
[C]My sister says I've a restless soul
Restless soul, [F]restless [C]soul
Easy to catch, but I'm hard to hold
Like a song [G]on the wind
that you [F]caught one [C]day
I get [Am]under [G]your skin, then I [F]slip away[C]

[Verse 6]
I'm a map of the world [F]and the
ones before
[C]One foo[Am]t in sea and one[F] on [C]shore
Every step, every [F]hope flung [Am]high
I'm a [F]map of them all with my [G]Irish [C]eyes
[Am][F][G][C][Am][F][G][C]

[Verse 7]
[C]My mother says I have [Am]Irish eyes
[F]Irish eyes, [G]Irish eyes
[C]My mother says I have [Am]Irish eyes
They go [F]ever so [G]blue[C]

[Verse 8]
'Cause I'm [C]a map of the
world and the [F]ones before
[C]One foo[F]t in sea and one on [C]shore
Every step, every hope [F]flung high
I'm a map of them all with [C]my Irish eyes
