The cliffs of Dooneen
1. You may travel far, far from your own native
land,
C G C
far
away o'er the mountains, far a-way o'er the foam,
C G Am
but of
all the fine places that I've ever seen,
C F G
sure
there's none to compare with the cliffs of Dooneen.
2. Take a view o'er the mountains, fine sights
you'll see there,
C
G C
you'll
see the high rocky mountains o'er the west coast of Clare.
C G Am
Oh,
the towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen,
C
F G
from
the high rocky slopes round the cliffs of Dooneen.
3. It's a nice place to be on a fine summer's
day,
C G C
watching all the wild flowers that ne'er do decay.
C
G Am
Oh,
the hare and lofty pheasant are quite plain to be seen,
C
F G
making
homes for their young round the cliffs of Dooneen.
4. Fare thee well to Dooneen, fare thee well for
a while,
C G C
and to
all the kind people I'm leaving behind,
C G Am
to the
streams and the meadows where late I have been,
C
F G
and
the high rocky slopes round the cliffs of Dooneen.
