1. Over in Killarney... many years ago 
   C             G                 A        A7        D - D7 
My mother sang a song for me... in tones so sweet and low 
       G                             C              G 
Just a simple little ditty... in her good old Irish way 
        C                 G       Em 
And I'd give the world if I could hear 
     A       A7   D - D7 
That song of hers today 
 
G      C      G          C             A7 
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral... Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Lie...

Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral... Hush, now don't you cry! 
G      C      G          C             A7 
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral... Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Lie 
G      C      G     Em             A     D - G 
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral... That's an Irish lullaby
