Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
If We Only Had Old Ireland Over Here
| D | G | D |
I was | dreaming of old | Ireland and | Killarney's lakes and fells, |
| G | D | E | A7 |
I was | dreaming of the | shamrock and the | dear old Shandon | bells, , |
| D | G | D |
When my | memory sugg | ested in a | vision bright and clear, , |
| G | D | A | D |
All the | strange things that would | happen if we | had old Ireland | here. , |
CHORUS,
| G | D |
If the Blarney stone stood | out on Sydney | harbour, , |
| G | D |
And | Dublin town to Melbourne came to | stay, , |
| G | D |
If the Shannon River | joined the Brisbane | Waters, , |
| E | A7 |
And Kill | arney's lakes flowed into Botany | Bay, , |
| D | G | D |
If the | Shandon bells rang | out in old Free | mantle, |
| G | D |
And | County Cork at Adelaide did ap | pear, |
| Bm | D |
Erin's | sons would never roam, all the | boys would stay at home, , |
| A | D |
If we only had old | Ireland over | here. , |
There are lots of lovely fairies dancing on the village green, ,
There are lots of lovely colleens, the finest ever seen, ,
Where the boys are all called Paddy and the girls called Molly dear, ,
Sure we'd wrap the green flag 'round them if we had old Ireland here. ,
