Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral

1. Over in Killarney, many years ago,
D G D E A
my
mother sang a song to me in tones so sweet and low.
D G D G D
Just a simple little ditty, in
her good old Irish way,
G D E A - A7
and l'd give the world if she could sing that song to me this
day.
D G
D G E7
"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li,
D G
D E E7 A
- A7
too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't
you cry !
D G
D G E7
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li,
D G
D - B7 E A
D
too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, it's an Irish lullaby."
D G D G D
2. Oft in dreams I wander to that cot again,
D G D E A
I feel her arms a-huggin' me as when she held me then.
D G D G D
And I hear her voice a - hummin' to me as in days of yore,
G D E A - A7
when
she used to rock me fast asleep outside the cabin door.
