Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][G][D][A]

[Verse 1]
[A]Oh, thee well to higher land
My [G]own [D]dear native lan[A]d
It [D]breaks my [A]heart to see friends part,
for it's [G]then that the [D]teardrops [G]fall.
I'm [D]on my [A]way to America,
will I [G]ever see [D]home once [G]more?
For [A]now I'll leave my own true love
And [G]pad his green [D]shamrock [A]shore
From Derricay we did sail
It [G]being [D]on the 4th of [A]May
[D]Pleasant [A]weather I'm sure we had
Go[G]ing to [D]Amari[G]cay
Fresh [D]water [A]then we did take in
One [G]hundred [D]tons or [G]more
For [A]fear we'd be shot on the other side,
[G]Far from the [D]Shamrock [A]shore.[G][D][A][D]
[A][G][D][G][D][A][G][D][G][A][G][D]
[A]
[G]Two [A]of our anchors weaded way
before [G]we [D]left the [A]day
[D]Down the [A]river we waded out
till [G]we came to [D]Bosony Bay
[G]We saw[D] the nig[A]ht,
the grandest night we [G]ever [D]saw be[G]fore
The [A]sun going down,
we'll see and sky [G]far from the [D]shamrock [A]shore[D][A][G][A]
Early next morning, we were all seasick
[G]Not one of [D]us was [A]free
[D]I m[A]yself was confined to bed
With [G]no one to [D]pity me
[G]No [D]mother [A]or no father
to [G]raise my [D]head when [G]I saw
That he [A]made me think of the friends
I led to the [G]lonely [D]Shadrach
[G]shore[A][D][A][G][A]
We landed safely in New York
after [G]four -and [D]-t wenty [A]days
Each [D]comrade [A]by the hand we took
And we [G]marched through dif
[D]ferent [G]ways
[D]Each one [A]drank a flowing glass,
as [G]we might [D]meet no [G]more
With [A]flowing bumpers we drank a health
to the [G]lonely [D]shamrock [A]shore[G][D][A]
You
