A 
My     faithful friends
           D
It's been so long
               E
Since I sailed away
       D             A
From my own native home
 
 But Ireland's always been
          D
Here on my mind
              E
And o what I’d give
       D
Just to be there 
        A
one more time.
 

CHORUS.
                        D
I’ll always have an Irish heart
  E                 D
No matter where I go
              A    D    E
I know where I came here from
  A
My homeland and I.
             D
Will never be far apart
        E          D                 A
For I’ll always have an Irish heart.
 
 A – D – E – D – A
 
 

My faithful  friends
           D
My time has come
             E
To leave this world
      D              A
And to enter god's home
 
 

I pray he’ll fly me high
          D
He’ll understand
         E
I need to say goodbye
  D        A
To my Ireland
 
 CHORUS
                        D
I’ll always have an Irish heart
  E                 D
No matter where I go
              A    D    E
I know where I came here from
  A
My homeland and I.
             D
Will never be far apart
        E          D                 A
For I’ll always have an Irish heart.
