Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Shores Of Amerikay
| C | F | C | G | C |
| I'm bidding farewell to the | land of my | youth and the | home I love so | well |
| G | F | C | G |
| And the | mountains so grand round my | own native land I'm | bidding them all fare | well |
| F | C | G |
| With an aching heart I'll | bid them adieu for to | morrow I'll sail far a | way |
| F | C | G | C |
| O'er the raging foam for to | seek a | home on the | shores of Ameri | kay |
It's not for the want of employment I'm going It's not for the love of fame
That fortune bright, may shine over me and give me a glorious name
It's not for the want of employment I'm going o'er the weary and stormy sea
But to seek a home for my own true love on the shores of Amerikay
And when I am bidding my last farewell the tears like rain will blind
To think of my friends in my own native land and the home I'm leaving behind
But if I'm to die in a foreign land and be buried so far far away
No fond mother's tears will be shed o'er my grave on the shores of Amerikay
