Cherish The Ladies - The Green Fields Of Canada

[Verse 1]
C G F Am
Farewell to the groves of shillelagh and shamrock
C Dm F Am
Farewell to the wee girls of Ireland all 'round
C G F Am
May your hearts be as merry as ever I would wish them
C Dm F Am
When far, far away across the ocean I'm bound

[Verse 2]
F Dm G Am
Oh, my father is old, and my mother is quite feeble
F Dm G Am G
To leave their own country, it grieves their heart sore__
F Dm F Am
Oh, the tears in great drops, down their cheeks they are rolling
F Dm G Am F G
To think they must die upon some foreign shore

[Verse 3]
C Dm F Am
But what matters to me where my bones may be buried
C G F Am
If in peace and contentment I can spend my life
C G F Am
Oh, the green fields of Canada, they daily are blooming
C Dm F Am
And it's there I'll put an end to my miseries and strife

[Verse 4]
F Dm G Am
So pack up your sea-stores and tarry no longer
F Dm G Am G
Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay__
F Dm F Am
With no taxes or tithes to devour up your wages
F Dm G Am
When you're on the green fields of Canada

[Instrumental]
Am Em F G F C Am
F Em F G F C Am
