The Sea Around Us chords

[VERSE 1]
They [D]say that the lakes of Ki[A]llarney are fair
That no stream like the Liffey can [G]ever com[A]pare,
If it's [D]water you want, you'll find [A]nothing more rare
Than the stuff they make [G]down by [A]the [D]ocean.

[CHORUS]
The [D]sea, oh the sea is the [G]gradh geal mo [D]croide*
[A]Long may it roam between [G]England and [A]me
It's [D]a sure guarantee that some [A]hour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're sur[G]rounded [A]by [D]water.

[VERSE 2]
Tom [D]Moore made his "Waters" meet [A]fame and renown
A great lover of anything [G]dressed in a [A]crown
In [D]brandy the bandy old [A]Saxon he'd drown
But throw ne'er a [G]drop in[A] the[D] ocean.

[CHORUS]
The [D]sea, oh the sea is the [G]gradh geal mo [D]croide*
[A]Long may it roam between [G]England and [A]me
It's [D]a sure guarantee that some [A]hour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're sur[G]rounded [A]by [D]water.

[VERSE 3]
The [D]Scots have their Whisky, the [A]Welch have their speech
And their poets are paid about [G]tenpence a [A]week
Pro[D]vided no hard words on [A]England they speak
Oh Lord, what a [G]price for [A]dev[D]otion.

[CHORUS]
The [D]sea, oh the sea is the [G]gradh geal mo [D]croide*
[A]Long may it roam between [G]England and [A]me
It's [D]a sure guarantee that some [A]hour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're sur[G]rounded [A]by [D]water.

[VERSE 4]
The [D]Danes came to Ireland with [A]nothing to do
But dream of the plundered old [G]Irish they [A]slew,
"Yeh [D]will in yer vikings" said [A]Brian Boru
And threw them back [G]into [A]the [D]ocean.

[CHORUS]
The [D]sea, oh the sea is the [G]gradh geal mo [D]croide*
[A]Long may it roam between [G]England and [A]me
It's [D]a sure guarantee that some [A]hour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're sur[G]rounded [A]by [D]water.

[VERSE 5]
Two [D]foreign old monarchs in [A]battle did join
Each wanting his head on the [G]back of a [A]coin
If the [D]Irish had sense they'd drowned [A]both in the Boyne
And partition thrown [G]into [A]the [D]ocean.

[CHORUS]
The [D]sea, oh the sea is the [G]gradh geal mo [D]croide*
[A]Long may it roam between [G]England and [A]me
It's [D]a sure guarantee that some [A]hour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're sur[G]rounded [A]by [D]water.
Oh, thank [A]God we're sur[G]rounded [A]by [D]water.
