Irish Heart

	  		A  
My     faithful friends 
           D 
It's been so long 
               E 
Since I sailed away 
       D             A 
From my own native home 
  
 But Ireland's always been 
          D 
Here on my mind 
              E 
And o what I'd give 
       D 
Just to be there  
        A 
one more time. 
  

 
                        D 
I'll always have an Irish heart 
  E                 D 
No matter where I go 
              A    D    E 
I know where I came here from 
  A 
My homeland and I. 
             D 
Will never be far apart 
        E          D                 A 
For I'll always have an Irish heart.

My faithful  friends 
           D 
My time has come 
             E 
To leave this world 
      D              A 
And to enter god's home 
  
  

I pray he'll fly me high 
          D 
He'll understand 
         E 
I need to say goodbye 
  D        A 
To my Ireland 
  

                        D 
I'll always have an Irish heart 
  E                 D 
No matter where I go 
              A    D    E 
I know where I came here from 
  A 
My homeland and I. 
             D 
Will never be far apart 
        E          D                 A 
For I'll always have an Irish heart.
