Isle Of Innisfree chords by Traditional

Verse 1

G                  C   | Am |
1. I've met some folk that say I am a dream-er
       D       D7         G
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say
  G               C   | Am |
But sure a body's bound to be a dream-er
        D     D7         G
When all the things he loves are far a-way



Verse 2

  G                  C   | Am |
2. And prec-ious things are dreams unto an e-xile
        D     D7         G
They take him o'er the land a-cross the sea
  G                 C   | Am |
Especially when it hap-pens he's an exile
        D     D7         G  G7
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree

Bridge:
       C               G
And when the moon-light peeps a-cross the roof tops
A                 D | D7 |
Of this great city wondrous tho it be
  G                 C   | Am |
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
        D     D7    G
I'm once a-gain back home in Innisfree

| G | C | C | G |


Verse 3:

  G                  C   | Am |
3. I wander o'er green hills through dreamy valleys
        D     D7         G
And find a peace no other land would know
      G             C   | Am |
I hear the birds make mu-sic fit for an-gels
        D     D7         G
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow



Verse 4:

  G                 C   | Am |
4. And then in-to a humble shack I wander
        D     D7         G
My dear old home and tenderly behold
  G                  C   | Am |
The folks I love a-round the turf fire gathered
        D     D7         G  | G7 |
On bend-ed knee their Rosary is told
         C             G
But dreams don't last though dreams are not forgotten
       A         D | D7 |
And soon I'm back to stern reality
         G               C   | Am |
But though they pave the foot-paths here with gold dust
        D     D7         G
