The Isle Of Malachy

	  		


Intro: G    C   Am    F  C  G 

verse 1 
N.C. C     Bb    Am 
I am high upon a mountain  
             C      D 
When morning comes around it  
      G     F        Am 
Where I was all with my love  
      F    G 
Birds fly upon the way  


verse 2 
      C      Bb   Am 
There horses go a-riding  
      C          D 
Messengers bring tidings  
    G     F        Am 
And every day they sail away  
         F     G 
Like the sun beneath the sea  


                F         Em       G 
Search where no ships are sailing  
   C        Am     G 
No sound of hearts breaking  
   C       F       C   Dm7 
Or down in deepest Africa  
D7                   G 
No one will find him there  
    C        F        C 
But down the sands of evening  
   Am              D7 
In days of my love leaving  
        G         F          Am 
You will hear the dance rise all around  
    F           G 
The Isle of Malachy

verse 3 
    C        Bb        Am 
Now waves of stars are breaking  
            C         D 
They lie on shores of evening  
     G       F       Am 
They burn at my eyes dreaming  
     F    G 
Like fire on the sea  


verse 4 
       C      Bb        Am 
I will make a prayer forever  
               C         D 
I will go with light and thunder  
    G         F        Am 
And tell each soul and stranger  
    F        G 
The tale and history  

 
                F         Em       G 
Search where no ships are sailing  
   C        Am     G 
No sound of hearts breaking  
   C       F       C   Dm7 
Or down in deepest Africa  
D7                   G 
No one will find him there  
    C        F        C 
But down the sands of evening  
   Am              D7 
In days of my love leaving  
        G        F     Am 
You will see the fires all around  
    F           G 
The Isle of Malachy
