Song is in key of A.
Use a capo on 2nd fret and play open chord shapes G, C, D and Em.
It was 1962, I was two years out of school
G C DWhen I got on board a boat that was bound for Liverpool
G C DThe day we sailed away I remember it so well
Took a look at the North Wall and bid a fond farewell
It's a hard thing to leave the land of your childhood
Em CTouched by the rivers and kissed by the sea
G D C GThe places you played with your childhood companions
To leave dear old Ireland and Mother Mo Chroí
Though I'm going far away and I may never return here
Em CThere's one thing I always will keep within me
G D C GDeep in my heart a furious devotion
The love of old Ireland and Mother Mo Chroi
G Em C D G C D [drop final measure]
Though I'm going away and I may never return here
Em CThere is always one thing that I will keep within me
G D C GDeep in my heart a furious devotion
The love of old Ireland and Mother Mo Chroi
On the top of the Pentonville Road I saw the sun setting
Em CThe town laid out before me looked beautiful to me
G D C GAway from all the sighing, the suffering and the dying
I dreamed of the future, the young and the free
But the years they go by quickly, now I know I can't remain here
Em CWhere each day brings me closer to that final misery
G D C GMy kids will never scrape shit round here, and I won't die crying in a pint of beer
I'm going back to Ireland and Mother Mo Chroí
G Em C D G C D [drop final measure]
