Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
D Em/D D Em/D E7 A7 D
[Verse]
D Em/D
There's a tear in your eye,
D Em/D
and I'm wondering why,
D Em/D A
For it never should be there at all,
Em A7
With such power in your smile
D B7
Sure a stone you'd beguile
E7 A7
And there's never a teardrop should fall.
D Em/D D Em/D
When your sweet lilting laughter's, like some fairy song,
C D7 G
When your eyes twinkle bright as can be,
Edim G#dim
You should laugh all the while,
F#m B2
And all other times smile,
B E A7
So then smile a smile for me.
[Chorus]
D Em/D D D/F#
When Irish eyes are smiling
G Bdim D D/F#
sure it's like a morn in Spring,
G Ddim D B7
In the lilt of Irish laughter
E7 E7 Em/A A7
you can hear the angels sing,
D Em/D D D/F#
When Irish hearts are happy
G Bdim D D/F#
All the world seems bright and gay,
G Ddim D B7
And when irish eyes are smiling,
E7 A7 D
sure they'd steal your heart away.
[Verse]
D Em/D
For your smile is a part
D Em/D
of the love in your heart
D Em/D D A
And it makes even sunshine more bright,
Em A7
Like the linnet's sweet song,
D B7
Crooning all the day long
E7 A7
Comes your laughter so tender and lite,
D Em/D D Em/D
For the springtime of life is the sweetest of all,
C D7 G
There is never real care or regret,
Edim G#dim
So while springtime is ours,
F#m B2
throughout all of youth's hours,
B E A7
Let us smile each chance we get.
[Chorus]
D Em/D D D/F#
When Irish eyes are smiling
G Bdim D D/F#
sure it's like a morn in Spring,
G Ddim D B7
In the lilt of Irish laughter
E7 E7 Em/A A7
you can hear the angels sing,
D Em/D D D/F#
When Irish hearts are happy
G Bdim D D/F#
All the world seems bright and gay,
G Ddim D B7
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
E7 A7 D A7 D A7 D
sure they'd steal your heart away.
