I need chords for this song to help out some friends of mine. So far, as I can tell, it goes:

(Capo on two for me)

[G]Sleep, oh babe, for the [C]red bee [G]hums, a [C]silent twilight's fall.

[G]Eval from the [C]gray rock [Em]comes, to [C]wrap the world [Em]enthrall.

[C]A lyan [G]van oh, [C]my child, [Em]my joy, [C]my own, my heart's [Em]desire.

[G]The crickets [C]sing you [G]lullabies, [C]beside the [D]dying [G]fire.

Is that about right, or are there different chords?

Correction to the first line.


[G]Sleep, oh babe, for the [C]red bee [G]hums, a [C]silent twilight's [G]fall.

Sorry!

Don't be shy, Alice! A while back I was Googling to discover the spelling and correct pronunciation of the Gaelic phrases in the song. What popped up from my search was your superb page devoted to the lyrics and history...

I'd thought Aobhill (of the Grey Rock) was associated with the Mouth of the Shannon?
