A                           D          B
In the east end of London I met an old man
 Bm                       E
He kept a bar called the horses and tram
  A                         D              Bm
My parents were Irish they loved that dear land
    B           Bm             E
The cockney he smiled and he shook my old hand


[Chorus]
  A              C#m          D            Bm
My heart is in Ireland it's there I long to be
     B            Bm              E
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me
      E             E7              D         A
Though born here in this land my heart is in Ireland
      A          Bm           E          A
Them land of the old folk is calling to  me


[Verse 2]
A                           D          B
Near a coalmine in Wales by a roadside cafe
  Bm                           E
A young girl came smiling and to me did say
  A                                D               Bm
Well my folks are from Ireland me dad he hopes one day
    B            Bm                 E
When he leaves the mines sure we'll go back to stay

[Chorus]
  A              C#m          D            Bm
My heart is in Ireland it's there I long to be
     B            Bm              E
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me
      E             E7              D         A
Though born here in this land my heart is in Ireland
      A          Bm           E          A
Them land of the old folk is calling to  me


[Verse 3]
A                                        D       B
Then I went through the midlands to each city and town
    Bm                           E
I found there were Irish in each place I roamed
  A                               D               Bm
And I drank and I sang in a pub they called the crown
    B               Bm       E
With the Birmingham Irish we sang songs of home

[Chorus]
  A              C#m          D            Bm
My heart is in Ireland it's there I long to be
     B            Bm              E
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me
      E             E7              D         A
Though born here in this land my heart is in Ireland
      A          Bm           E          A
Them land of the old folk is calling to  me


[Verse 4]
A                                   D           B
Then I went north to scotland to Glasgow on the Clyde
    Bm                           E
I met with some young lads said Celtic's our side
  A                                D               Bm
All our folks are from Ireland the island of the green
    B            Bm        E
That country we love but a place we've not seen

[Chorus]
  A              C#m          D            Bm
My heart is in Ireland it's there I long to be
     B            Bm              E
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me
      E             E7              D         A
Though born here in this land my heart is in Ireland
      A          Bm           E          A
Them land of the old folk is calling to  me
