Cliffs Of Dooneen


song is in standard tuning, the way i hear it christy uses chordvariations while fingerpicking the song. anyway, an easy overview over the chords used: G C F Am E 3 x x x A x 3 x 0 D 0 2 3 2 G 0 0 2 2 B 3 1 1 1 e 3 3 3 0 christy uses some variations on the high e-string and on the rute notes to make the song softer. i didnt figure them out, but i'm sure you can by just trying. ah and the song's in 3/4! G C F G You may travel far far from your own native home C G Am Far away o'er the mountains far away o'er the foam C G Am But of all the fine places that I've ever seen, C F G There's none to compare with The Cliffs of Dooneen G C F G Take a view o'er the water fine sights you'll see there C G Am You'll see the high rocky slopes on the West coast of Clare C G Am The towns of Kilkee and Kilrush can be seen C F G From the high rocky slopes at The Cliffs of Dooneen G C F G It's a nice place to be on a fine Summer's day C G Am Watching all the wild flowers that ne'er do decay C G Am The hare and lofty pheasant are plain to be seen C F G Making homes for their young round The Cliffs of Dooneen G C F G Fare thee well to Dooneen fare thee well for a while C G Am And to all the fine people I'm leaving behind C G Am To the streams and the meadows where late I have been C F G And the high rocky slopes of The Cliffs of Dooneen have fun with that great song :)
