The chords are the same the whole way through,
following the same timing and all.
this is an old song
[Intro]
Em C G D X 4
[Verse 1]
Em C G D
As I roved out one evening as Sol cast his rays
Em C G D
Behind yon western mountains and the wide western seas
Em C G D
I carelessly roved out, my leisure hours to pass
Em C G D
For to view the Shannon water that flows through Doonass
Em C G D
My mind was enraptured at this enchanting scene
Em C G D
Such a place in all Ireland, there is not I ween
Em C G D
Proud, beautiful and crystal bright, shining like glass
Em C G D
Is that pure Shannon water that flows through Doonass
[CHORUS]
Em C G D
In Doonass I was born and ‘tis there I’d like to die
Em C G D
And down in its old churchyard, my old bones lie
Em C G D
For if fortune proves in favour, the seas I ne’er will cross
Em C G D
Nor bid adieu to Clonlara, Castleconnell or Doonass
[Verse 2]
Em C G D
Have you been to Killarney, the Causeway or Quay
Em C G D
The proud bay of Dublin, Loophead or Kinsale ?
Em C G D
The city cove of Cork seems but shadows or gas
Em C G D
When compared to the proud rolling falls of Doonass
Em C G D
And if you’re tired of walking, proceed on further still
Em C G D
To the right of Massey’s mansion, ‘tis there you’ll get your fill
Em C G D
And when you reach the summit, come fill up your glass
Em C G D
Drink a health, wealth and honour to the falls of Doonass
[Chorus]
Em C G D
In Doonass I was born and ‘tis there I’d like to die
Em C G D
And down in its old churchyard, my old bones lie
Em C G D
For if fortune proves in favour, the seas I ne’er will cross
Em C G D
Nor bid adieu to Clonlara, Castleconnell or Doonass
[Verse 3]
Em C G D
Go into the rock-gardens to take a refreshing breeze
Em C G D
Where the holy hand of time has spread beneath its trees
Em C G D
‘tis there you’ll see the anglers, both bonny, bright and gay
Em C G D
With their artificial flies in the sweet month of May
Em C G D
Go eastward and westward and into the churchyard
Em C G D
Quiet sober and silent, ‘twould win your regard
Em C G D
With its crumbling walls of ivy and graves of green grass
Em C G D
And the dead lying beneath them near the falls of Doonass
[Chorus]
Em C G D
In Doonass I was born and ‘tis there I’d like to die
Em C G D
And down in its old churchyard, my old bones lie
Em C G D
For if fortune proves in favour, the seas I ne’er will cross
Em C G D
Nor bid adieu to Clonlara, Castleconnell or Doonass
[Verse 4]
Em C G D
And if you’re not tired of walking, proceed on further still
Em C G D
Until you come up with Saint Senan’s holy well
Em C G D
Where the lame, blind and weary a cure ever has
Em C G D
In that healing gift from heaven near the falls of Doonass
Em C G D
Oh, when shall that day come, that dear and happy hour
Em C G D
When I’ll walk undisturbed ‘neath the turret’s green bower
Em C G D
With my mind free from care, and by my side a lass
Em C G D
And she lives in a cottage near the falls of Doonass
[Chorus]
Em C G D
In Doonass I was born and ‘tis there I’d like to die
Em C G D
And down in its old churchyard, my old bones lie
Em C G D
For if fortune proves in favour, the seas I ne’er will cross
Em C G D
Nor bid adieu to Clonlara, Castleconnell or Doonass
