Down is my Home - Claire Thompson
(A rewrite of Cornwall my home by Fisherman’s Friends)
Verse 1]
Am F C
I've stood on the Floodgates in the sun's evening glow
G Gsus4 G
Took the coastal pathway, where the ferries come and go
F C
Saw the coastguard scramble and the waves beat them back
G C Csus4 C
Hear seagulls squawking, as the North Sea wind blows
[Chorus]harmonies
Fadd9 C
And no one will ever move me from this land
G Gsus4 G
Until my last days I will, roam this pleasant land
Fadd9 C
For this is my Eden, I’m never alone
G C Csus4 C
For this is my county, and Down is my home
[Verse 2]
Fadd9 C
I've left childish footsteps in the Ballyholme sands
G Gsus4 G
Swam sea waves at Groomsport, and settled my scorns
Fadd9 C
I've climbed Scrabo’s hillside, ascended the tower
G C Csus4 C
And gazed on lough waters as the planes get airbourne
[Chorus] harmonies
Fadd9 C
And no one will ever move me from this land
G Gsus4 G
Until my last days I will, roam this pleasant land
Fadd9 C
For this is my Eden, I’m never alone
G C Csus4 C
For this is my County and Down is my home
[Verse 3]
Fadd9 C
Masts clink down in Bangor, may the town rise again
G Gsus4 G
Get a Guinness in fealties, and join in the song
Fadd9 C
For Down is my County, and I'll tell you why
G C Csus4 C
Because I was born here and here I shall die
[Chorus]harmonies
Fadd9 C
And no one will ever move me from this land
C G Gsus4 G
Until my last days I will, roam this pleasant land
Fadd9 C
For this is my Eden, I'm never alone
G C Csus4 C
For this is my County and Down is my home
[Outro] just voices
For this is our County and this is our home
Fisherman's Blues [C]
Waterboys
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
[G] [F] [Am] [C]
I [G]wish I was a fisherman, [F] tumbling on the seas
[Am] Far away from dry land, and it's [C] bitter memories
[G] Casting out my sweet line, with [F] abandonment and love
[Am] No ceiling bearing down on me, save the [C] starry sky above
With light in my [G]head, with you in my [F]arms, oh oh [Am]oh oh oh [C]oh
[G]Oh oh [F]oh oh [Am]oh [C]
I [G]wish I was the brake man, on a [F]hurtling fevered train
Crashing [Am]headlong into the heartland, like a [C] cannon in the rain
With the [G]beating of the sleepers, and the [F] burning of the coal
[Am] Counting towns flashing by me, in a [C]night that's full of soul
With light in my [G]head, with you in my [F]arms, oh oh [Am]oh oh oh [C]oh
[G]Oh oh[F] oh oh [Am]oh [C]
Oh I [G]know I will be loosened, from [F]bonds that hold me fast
And the [Am]chains all hung around me, [C] will fall away at last
And on that [G] fine and fateful day, I will [F] take thee in my arms
I will [Am]ride the night train, and I will [C] be the fisherman
With light in my [G]head, you in my [F]arms, oh oh [Am]oh oh oh [C]oh.
[G]Oh oh [F]oh oh [Am]oh [C]
With light in my [G]head, with you in my [F]arms, oh oh[Am] oh oh oh [C]oh.
With light in my [G]head, with you in my [F]arms, oh oh[Am] oh oh oh [C]oh.
With light in my [G]head, with you in my [F]arms, oh oh[Am] oh oh oh [C]oh.
Galway Girl [☘️] - Steve Earle
[Intro] [C] [C]
[C] Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
On a day-I-ay-I-[F]ay
[C] I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
on a [C] grand-soft [F]day-I-[C]-ay
And I [F] ask you, [C] friend, what's a [F] fella to [C] do
'Cause her [Am] hair was black and her [F] eyes were [C] blue
And I [F] knew right [C] then, I'd be [F] takin' a [C] whirl
'Round the [Am] Salthill Prom with a [F] Galway [C] girl
[C] [C] [F] [C] [F][C][F][Am] [G] [C]
[C] We were halfway there when the rain came down
On a day-I-ay-I-[F]ay
And she [C]asked me up to her flat downtown
on a [C] grand-soft [F] day-I-[C]-ay
And I [F] ask you, [C] friend, what's a [F] fella to [C] do
'Cause her [Am] hair was black and her [F] eyes were [C] blue
So I [F] took her [C] hand, and I [F] give her a [C] twirl
And I [Am] lost my heart to a [F] Galway [C] girl
[C] [C] [F] [C] [F][C][F][Am] [G] [C]
[F] [C] [G] [F][C][F][Am] [G] [C]
[C] When I woke up I was all alone... On a day-I-ay-I-[F]ay
With a [C] broken heart and a [F] ticket [C] home,
on a grand-soft [F] day-I [C]-ay
And I [F] ask you [C] now, tell me [F] what would you [C] do
If her [Am] hair was black and her [F] eyes were [C] blue
I've [F] travelled a-[C]-round I've been all [F] over this [C] world ...
Boys I ain't [Am] seen nothin' like a [F] Galway [C] girl
