[Intro]
Bm E A Bm A
Bm E A Bm A

[Verse]
Bm A
At the foot of Knocknarea I pick up a stone
G F#m
To carry to the top with all my troubles
Bm A
I'll lay it on Maeve's cairn, high upon that mound
G F#7
Stone upon hard stone I'll lay it down
D A Bm F#m
I have a man at home who wants more than I can give
D A G F#m
And a child who needs at least that much and better

[Chorus]
Bm
My heart is pulled tight, Maeve
A
In this home that I have made
G
At the foot of Knocknarea

[Verse]
Bm A
I hear a music play as great as any love
G F#m
I carry for my husband and my daughter
Bm A
It calls me from their reach, I look back with no ease
G F#7
Can they stay awhile alone and leave me be?
D A Bm F#m
"No," says the voice that answers in my head
D A G F#m
It's the voice that has been droning on forever__

[Chorus]
Bm
It's my mother's music, Maeve
A
I sing with it always
G
As I climb up Knocknarea

[Bridge]
D A Em A
And the wind, it does rage here on Knocknarea
D A Bm F#m
It's a rage that I've learned all too well
Bm
I will speak the truth from now
A
And show my young girl how
G E7
For her voice depends on mine

[Verse]
Bm A
At the foot of Knocknarea I pick up a stone
G F#m
To carry to the top with all my troubles
