That Tumble Down Shack In Athlone chords by Bing Crosby

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
   G     D      G      D
Oh! I want to go back to that tumble down shack,
     Em     A        D7
Where the wild roses bloom 'round the door,
    C            D      Em
Just to pillow my head, in that ould trundle bed,
   A             D
Just to see my ould mother once more.
     G        D       G     D
There's a bright gleaming light, guiding me home tonight,
     G      Bm      Em
Down the long road of white cobble stone,
     C        D       G      Em
Down the road that leads back, to that tumble down shack,
    C      D      G
To that tumble down shack in Athlone.

Verse 2:
   D       G      D       G
I'm a long way from home and my thoughts ever roam
    Em    G    A   D
To ould Erin far over the sea,
    C      G        C      G
For my heart it is there, where the skies are so fair
     Em     A      D
And ould Ireland is calling for me.
     G        D       G     D
There's a bright gleaming light, guiding me home tonight,
     G      Bm      Em
Down the long road of white cobble stone,
     C        D       G      Em
Down the road that leads back, to that tumble down shack,
    C      D      G
To that tumble down shack in Athlone.

Verse 3:
      G      D      G      D
There are eyes that are sad, as they watch for a lad,
    E       A     D7
In the old fashioned town of Athlone,
   C             D    Em
And I pray for the day, when I'm sailing away,
    A            D
To ould Ireland, and mother, my own.
     G        D       G     D
There's a bright gleaming light, guiding me home tonight,
     G      Bm      Em
Down the long road of white cobble stone,
     C        D       G      Em
Down the road that leads back, to that tumble down shack,
    C      D      G
To that tumble down shack in Athlone.
