Verse 1:
N.C.
Oh the green and red of mayo, 
N.C.
I can see it still,
N.C.
It's soft and craggy boglands,
N.C. 
It's tall magestic hills,
G
Where the ocean kisses Ireland, 
C
The waves caress it's shore
G
The feelin' it came over me, 
C
To stay for ever more, 
G
For ever more,

Verse 2:
          G
From it's rolling costal waters 
      C
I can see Croagh Patrick's peak, 
          G
where one sunday every summer, 
    C
the pilgrims climb the reek 
          G
where St. Patrick in it's solitude, 
      C
looks out across Clew bay,
             G
and with the ringin' of his bell
           C
Called the faithful there to pray,
         G
there to pray,

Verse 3:
(Chords as verse 2)

Take me to Clare island, 
The home of Granuaile,
It's waters harbour fishes,
From the herring to the whale,
And now I must depart it,
And reality is plain,
May the time not pass so slowly,
Till I set sail again,
Set sail again,
