Intro: ( And fare-thee-well, to Ireland, the land of my native home It breaks my heart for to see friends part, for it's then the teardrops fall * I'm on my way to Amerikay, will I ever see home once more * For I'm leaving behind the one I love on Paddy's green shamrock shore. repeat INTRO Same strum pattern and chords throughout the rest of the song The ship she lies in anchor, standing by the quay May fortune bright shine down each night, as we sail out over the sea Many ships have been lost, many lives it cost on the journey that lies before With a tear in my eye I'm bidding good-bye to Paddy's Green shamrock shore Intro So fare thee well my own true love, I'll think of you night and day And a place in my mind you surely will find, although I am far away Though I'll be alone far away from my home I'll think of the good times once more Until the day I can make my way back to Paddy's green shamrock shore Intro Instrumental (same chord pattern as verses) And now the ship is on the wave may heaven protect us all With the wind in our sail well we surely can't fail on the voyage to Baltimore my parents and friends they did wave till the end till I could see them no more then I took a chance, took one last glance at Paddy's green shamrock shore (hold) then I took a chance, took one last glance (hold) at Paddy's green shamrock shore
