Verse:
G Em C G
In the fall of the year, she flew across the ocean
G D/F# Em C D
To Ireland, the land of her fathers
G Em C G
When we said goodbye, a tear was in her eye
G D/F# Em C G
I lost her then and there, my Irish angel


Verse:
G Em C G
The first letter came, she said she loved it there
G D/F# Em C D
And how much she wished I was there with her
G Em C G
She wrote it on a hill, in a gentle Irish rain
G D/F# Em C G
I saw her in my mind, my Irish angel


Chorus:
C D G C
I wrote her back and then there was no second letter
C G D
Just the silence of the snow that fell around me
G Em C G
I let her down, I know, the day I let her go
G D/F# Em C G
Now she's found someone else, my Irish angel

Verse:
G Em C G
The first time I saw her, my heart went in a spin
G D/F# Em C D
When they speak of love they call it fallin
G Em C G
It was like I held my breath, 'til laid eyes on her again
G D/F# Em C G
Too beautiful, she was my Irish angel


Chorus:
C D G C
And when I stole a glance, then too a stolen kiss
C G D
I thought I knew the chance that I was takin'
G Em C G
And though I never knew a love as strong as this
G D/F# Em C G
Or what it was to feel my own heart breaking

Chorus:
C D G C
So now I raise a glass and then I raise another
C G D
One to forget, one to remember
G Em C G
And one just to dream of how things could have been
G D/F# Em C G
If I hadn't lost my Irish angel
