[Verse]
Dm G Dm G
Women, Women of Ireland your glory's in the shade
C Am
Your dreams they have gone and decayed
Dm
The deeds you have done they all went unsung
C
By no Bard or no one
G
For without you there is nothing
Am G
Except love songs in the wind
Dm Em
And all of your struggles and despair
C
And there were castles in the air
[Chorus]
C
Shout it from every mountain
Em Dm
From every mountain on high
C
And the four winds will sigh
Dm G
For Ireland, Ireland's your glory
Dm G C
And your monuments built on your sorrow and pain
Dm G
For if ever the seas and the oceans run dry
Am G
Tears of struggles and of joy
Dm Em
And all of your sadness and your pain
C
Would fill the oceans up again
Dm G Dm G
Daughters, Daughters of Erin to the Cuman na mBan
C Am
Your dream was to see Ireland free
Dm
Thru agrarian struggles were determined to win
C
And from there to begin
G
There you were dressed for rebellion
Am G
But your beauty could not hide
Dm Em
Your sorrow and suffering and despair
C
And there were castles in the air
