Cliffs of Dooneen
by trad
Oh you may [D] travel far, [G] far
from your [C] own native [D] home
far [G] away o’er the mountains
far [D] away o’er the [G] foam
but of [G] all the fine places
that [D] I’ve ever [Em] seen
Ah, there’s [G] none to compare with
the [C] Cliffs of [D] Dooneen
Take a view o’er the mountains
fine sights youll see there
you’ll see the high rocky mountains
and the west coast of Clare
oh, the towns of Kilkee
and KilRush can be seen
from the high rocky slopes
of the cliffs of Dooneen
Its a nice place to be
on a fine summers day
watching all the wild flowers
that never decay
oh the hare and lofty pheasant
are quite plain to be seen
making homes for their young
round the cliffs of Dooneen
Fare thee well to Dooneen
fare thee well for a while
and to all the fine people
I’m leaving behind
to the streams and the meadows
where of late I have been
and the high rocky slopes of the cliffs of Dooneen
from your [C] own native [D] home
far [G] away o’er the mountains
far [D] away o’er the [G] foam
but of [G] all the fine places
that [D] I’ve ever [Em] seen
Ah, there’s [G] none to compare with
the [C] Cliffs of [D] Dooneen
Take a view o’er the mountains
fine sights youll see there
you’ll see the high rocky mountains
and the west coast of Clare
oh, the towns of Kilkee
