Em          C
Here is a story
    Em           C
Of hope and of glory
Em             C
Eighteen years old
         Em         C
And well I fell in love
           Em
But after that
                C         Em
Where have you gone, from me?
                C           Em
The one that I loved endlessly
            C      Em
We used to have a life
                  C
But now it's all gone
      Em
Mystified...
Mystified...
C
Mystified...
Em
Mystified...
C
Mystified...
Em
Mystified...
C
Mystified...

Chorus:
Em                  C
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland?
Em                  C                     Em
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland for me?
                    C
Are they ready for me?
                   Em
Are they ready for me?
                    C
Are they ready for me?

Where have you gone, from me?
The one that I loved endlessly
We were to have a child
Yesterday's gone
Well I knew the time would come
When I'd have to leave, go on
Look what they've done to me
They've taken my hand...
And it's killing me
Killing me
Killing me
Killing me

Chorus

But I'm afraid I'm returning to Ireland
I'm afraid I'm returning to Ireland, I see
That there is nothing for me
There is nothing for me
There is nothing for me
