[Verse 1]
Am D
There was a stand of oak trees beside my father's house
Am G
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
Am C
In the softness of the rain
G C G
I can hear us laugh again
[Chorus]
C G
Wake, my heart, play the Bucks of Oranmore
C G
Shake my mind, put the devil in the bow once more
C D
Fray the hair, bend the note, lift the dancer's feet, I'm going
C G C D
I'm going, I'm going back to Ireland
[Verse 2]
Am D
You were the King of Dublin, and I was your Queen Maeve
Am G
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
Am C
We heard the River Shannon sing
G C G
And we were never gonna leave
[Chorus]
C G
Wake, my heart, play the Bucks of Oranmore
C G
Shake my mind, put the devil in the bow once more
C D
Fray the hair, bend the note, lift the dancer's feet, I'm going
C G
I'm going, I'm going back to Ireland
[Instrumental]
G C G C Bm
{Bridge]
Am
Through the tangled grass near the gorse
Em Am
We would sit and plot our course
C G D
Back when my thoughts were so clear
Em D G/B C
Back in time when you were here
[Instrumental]
Em D G/B C Am Em D G/B C G
[Chorus]
C G
Wake, my heart, play the Bucks of Oranmore
C G
Shake my mind, put the devil in the bow once more
C D
Fray the hair, bend the note, lift the dancer's feet, I'm going
C G
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)
Em D G/B C
I'm going back
