[Verse 1]
AmD
There was a stand of oak trees beside my father's house
AmG
The wind blew through the leaves, I can hear it now
C
The smell of hay just stacked in the back field
Bm
Glowing gold in the summer heat
AmC
In the softness of the rain
GCG
I can hear us laugh again
[Chorus]
CG
Wake, my heart, play the Bucks of Oranmore
CG
Shake my mind, put the devil in the bow once more
CD
Fray the hair, bend the note, lift the dancer's feet, I'm going
CGCD
I'm going, I'm going back to Ireland
[Verse 2]
AmD
You were the King of Dublin, and I was your Queen Maeve
AmG
We ran headlong through the fields, we knew every lane
C
We knew the land had a wisdom of its own
Bm
Laying back on ancient stone
AmC
We heard the River Shannon sing
GCG
And we were never gonna leave
[Chorus]
CG
Wake, my heart, play the Bucks of Oranmore
CG
Shake my mind, put the devil in the bow once more
CD
Fray the hair, bend the note, lift the dancer's feet, I'm going
CG
I'm going, I'm going back to Ireland
[Instrumental]
GCGCBm
{Bridge]
Am
Through the tangled grass near the gorse
EmAm
We would sit and plot our course
CGD
Back when my thoughts were so clear
EmDG/BC
Back in time when you were here
[Instrumental]
EmDG/BCAmEmDG/BCG
[Chorus]
CG
Wake, my heart, play the Bucks of Oranmore
CG
Shake my mind, put the devil in the bow once more
CD
Fray the hair, bend the note, lift the dancer's feet, I'm going
CG
I'm going, I'm going back to Ireland
[Outro]
C
(Ooh ooh ooh)
G
I'm going back
C
(Ooh ooh ooh)
G
I'm going back
C
(Ooh ooh ooh)
EmDG/BC
I'm going back
