An Irish Lullaby

Chords

Standard

Verse 1:
C
Over in Killarney 
F          C
Many years ago, 
My mother sang a song to me 
D7                G
In tones so sweet and low. 
C
Just a simple little ditty, 
F                      C
In her good ould Irish way, 
                                    D7
And l'd give the world if she could sing 
          G
That song today

Chorus:
C                       F             C
"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, 
C                      D7                  G
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!
C                      F
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, 
C      Am     C        G7              C
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."

Verse 2:
C
Oft in dreams I wander 
F           C
To that cot again, 
I feel her arms a-huggin' me 
   D7                G
As when she held me then. 
C
And I hear her voice a -hummin' 
F                   C
To me as in days of yore, 
When she used to rock me fast asleep 
D7                G
Outside the cabin door. 

Chorus:
C                       F             C
"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, 
C                      D7                  G
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!
C                      F
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, 
C      Am     C        G7              C
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."
