Verse 1:
N.C.
Oh the green and red of mayo,
N.C.
I can see it still,
N.C.
It's soft and craggy boglands,
N.C.
It's tall magestic hills,
Where the ocean kisses Ireland,
The waves caress it's shore
The feelin' it came over me,
To stay for ever more,
For ever more,
(electric fill 1, lots of echo:)
Verse 2:
I can see Croagh Patrick's peak,
where one sunday every summer,
the pilgrims climb the reek
where St. Patrick in it's solitude,
looks out across Clew bay,
and with the ringin' of his bell
Called the faithful there to pray,
there to pray,
(fill 2:)
pray
(fill 1)
(fill 3:)

Verse 3:
(Chords as verse 2)
Take me to Clare island,
The home of Granuaile,
It's waters harbour fishes,
And now I must depart it,
And reality is plain,
May the time not pass so slowly,
Till I set sail again,
Set sail again,
