When I became a father in the spring of '81

There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son

And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end

I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him

Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates

When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake

If they knew half the things I've done they'll never let me in

Then a somewhere from the other side and I heard these words again

Galway Bay

G D7If you ever go across the sea to Ireland GThen maybe at the closing of your day CYou will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh D7 GAnd see the sun go down on Galway Bay

D7Just to hear again the rippling of the trout stream GSee the women in the meadows making hay CAnd to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin D7 GAnd watch the barefoot gossoons at their play

D7For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way GThey scorn us just for being what we are CBut they might as well go chasing after moonbeams D7 GOr light a penny candle from a star

D7And if there's going to be a life hereafter GAnd somehow I am sure there's going to be CI will ask my God to let me make my heaven D7 GIn that dear land across the Irish sea

D7 GSo I can watch the sun go down on Galway Bay

Chorus: D7 GHome, home on the range D7Where the deer and the antelope play G C Cm Where seldom is heard a discouraging word G D7 Gand the skies are not cloudy all day

The Red Man was pressed from this part of the westIt's not likely he'll ever returnto the banks of Red River, where seldom, if everhis flickering campfires still burn

Repeat chorus

How often at night when the heavens are brightwith the light from the glittering starsHave I stood there amazed and asked, as I gazedif their glory exceeds that of ours

Repeat chorus

Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sandflows leisurely down the streamWhere the graceful white swan goes gliding alonglike a maid in a heavenly dream
