CLIFFS OF DOONEEN CHRISTY MOORE G C (F C) F G You may travel far far from your own native home C G Am Far away o'er the mountains, far away o'er the foam C ( F C) G Am But of all the fine places that I've ever seen C F G There's none to compare with the cliffs of Dooneen Take a view o'er the mountains, fine sights you'll see there You'll see the high rocky mountains on the west coast of Clare The towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen From the high Rocky slopes of 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 late I have been And the high rocky slopes of the Cliffs of Dooneen You may travel for far from your own native home Far away o'er the mountains, far away o'er the foam But of all the fine places that l've ever seen There's none to compare with the Cliffs of Dooneen Enjoy Cattail ! |

Anyway it only needs a google to find a version you like, or work it out of the one here, I also think that its at Betty Lou's site if I remember correctly. http://bettylou.zzruss.com/ it ain't tooooo difficult to find or work out. Incidentally, I've often thought that its a pity that the songs in the D.T. don't have the chords with them for us people who can't work them out from scratch. Anyway, thanks for pulling me up on this one, I'll check a bit more carefully if I ever put another one on. Have a good Christmas and best wishes to you and yours. Cattail ! |
