-2   -1   -1* 2   -2  -5
Ire-land must be heav-en,
-5  5  5  -3*  -3*  3    -2
For an an-gel came from there
-2 -1 -2 -3* -3  3  -3   -3*
I nev-er knew a liv-ing soul
-4   4   -3  3-2 -1 1 -2
One half as sweet or fair.
-5   5   5   -3*  -3* -3   4    -3*
For her eyes are like the star-light,
-5* -5   -5     5      3   -5   5
And the white clouds match her hair
-3 3 -2   -1   -1* 2   -2  -5
Sure Ire-land must be heav-en,
-5* -5  -5 -3*  -3*  4    -3*
For my moth-er came from there
