[Intro] Dm C Bb F F [Verse] F F Bb F The Garden of Eden has vanished they say Dm C F C but I know the lie of it still. F F Bb F Just turn to the left at the Bridge of Finea Dm C F F and stop when halfway to Cootehill. [Pre-Chorus] Bb Bb F Dm It's there you will find it, I know sure enough, G G C C when fortune has come to my call. F F Bb F For the grass it is green around Ballyjamesduff Dm C F F and the blue sky is over it all. [Chorus] Bb Bb F Dm And tones that are tender and tones that are gruff G G C C are whispering over the sea. F F Bb F Come back, Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff, Dm C Bb F come home, Paddy Reilly, to me. [Interlude] Dm C Bb F F [Verse] F F Bb F My mother once told me the day I was born, Dm C F C the day that I first saw the light, F F Bb F I looked down the street on that very first morn Dm C F C and gave a great crow of delight. [Pre-Chorus] Bb Bb F Dm Now, most newborn babies appear in a huff, G G C C and start with a sorrowful squall. F F Bb F But I knew I was born in Ballyjamesduff Dm C F F and that's why I smiled on them all. [Chorus] Bb Bb F Dm That baby's a man now, he's toil-worn and tough, G G C C still whispers: come over the sea. F F Bb F Come back, Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff, Dm C Bb F come home, Paddy Reilly, to me. [Outro] Dm C Bb F F
