               C             F 
When the summer day is over 
         C          G7 
Its busy cares have flown 
       C               F 
I will sit beneath the starlight 
       C     G7    C 
With a weary heart alone. 
 
        G7           C 
Then it rises like a vision 
          F                    G7 
Sparkling bright it shines for me 
   C              F 
My own dear Ellan Vannin 
         C           G7     C 
With its green hills by the sea. 
 
       C              F 
Let me hear the ocean murmur 
       C                 G7 
Let me watch your stormy sky 
     C                 F 
Then above the emerald waters 
          C         G7     C 
Sings the sea-eagle as she flies. 
 
     G7             C 
Then arising like a vision 
          F                    G7 
Sparkling bright it shines for me 
   C              F 
My own dear Ellan Vannin 
         C           G7     C 
With its green hills by the sea. 
 
       C               F 
And in all my times of sorrow 
            C      G7 
And on some lonely shore 
        C             F 
I'll go back to Ellan Vannin 
      C         G7        C 
To my childhood days once more.
