[Intro]
G D A D

[Verse 1]
D G D
I said farewell to dear old dad and kissed my mother goodbye
G D Em
Then turned away before did see the tears form in my eyes
D G D
Along the winding leafy lane where in childhood we would play
G D A D
With heartache and old memories, I sadly made my way.

[Verse 2]
D G D
So many folks have left their homes through strife and poverty
G D Em A
Yet somehow we could struggle by, just mother dad and me,
D G D
But things went wrong between me and the girl I called my own
G D A G D
And I left Castleblaney, my people and my home.
[Chorus] (For Key Change - Place a Capo on the first Fret)
G D A D

[Verse 3]
D G D
I visualized the hedge-rows on the road I used to go
G D Em
I see the town of Blaney. and the Lakes Of Lough Knock Muckno
D G D
Around the old Hope Castle where so often I would roam,
G D G D
I dream of Castleblaney my old people and my home.

[Verse 4]
D G D
The harbour lights are fading as I leave this foreign shore
G D Em
And I watched the dark horizon that I mean to see no more
D G D
To the land that holds the legend of the fairy and the gnome,
G D G D
Going back to Castleblaney my old people and my home

[Outro]
G D G D
Going back to Castleblaney my old people and my home
