Come Back Paddy Reilly chords by The Masterless Men

[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
