From An Island To An Island
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse]
G C G
My father left old Ireland so many years ago,
D G
He left is home in Galway where the green, green Shamrocks grow
C G
He meet my darling Mother on a boat to Newfoundland,
D G
And it didn't take him long before he won her heart and hand,
G C G
They both came to this Island as happy as could be,
D G
To settle down together to raise a family,
C G
They built a little cottage and started to combine,
D G
The green of the Shamrock with the green of the Pine
[Chorus]
G C G
From an Island to an Island from the green to the green,
D G
They left their homes to settle in a place the'd never seen,
They exchanged the hills of Newfoundland
C G
For the ones they'd left behind,
D G
The green of the Shamrock for the green of the pine
[Verse]
G C G
As their family grew around them their eyes shone bright with pride,
D G
They'd go to church each Sunday morn strolling side by side,
C G
Each evening round the turf-fire to heaven would ascend.
D G
The decades of the Rosary for all in Ireland.
G C G
Now the years passed by so quickly and death we all must face,
D G
We laid our loving parents in their final resting place,
C G
They taught us to be thankful for the heritage that's mine,
D G
The green of the Shamrock and the green of the Pine
[Chorus]
G C G
From an Island to an Island from the green to the green,
D G
They left their homes to settle in a place the'd never seen,
They exchanged the hills of Newfoundland
C G
For the ones they'd left behind,
D G
The green of the Shamrock for the green of the pine
D G
