Track 5 Blarney Stone

Chords and lyrics

Blarney stone

|G |C |F C |G |

|Em Am |Em Am |F |C F G |

Some days Ireland is a jewel sparkling in the sun

And the very stones ring out in plangent tone

But then heavy rain can leave you at a loss to find your fun

So I climbed the spiral staircase and I kissed the Blarney stone

We strolled across the meadow where the river martin flows

Into the blarney river where the castle tower grows

Read the stories how the seeds of eloquence are sown

So I climbed the spiral staircase and I kissed the Blarney stone

|F |Em Am |G… 7 |C G C |

I didn't plan to do it

Didn't even mean to go

But the rain was unrelenting

And the sea was flecked with foam

So we headed north from Cork before wind cut us to the bone

I climbed the spiral staircase and I kissed the Blarney stone

Some say Jacob had it as his pillow as he watched the angels climb

Up to heaven in his dreams the angels roamed

And twas brought by Jeremiah all the way from Palestine

So I climbed the spiral staircase and I kissed the Blarney stone

So has it made a difference, well you can be the judge

Are these verses any better than before?

If you can with confidence don't prevaricate or fudge

But if quantity's the measure you can bet for plenty more

You can bet your life that there'll be plenty more |F C |G |
