[Intro]
 
C  G7     C           G7     C
I hear a bird, London-derry bird.
 
C                                    G7    C
It well may be he's bringing me a cheering word.
 
C    G7   C             G7        C
I hear a breeze, a River Shannon breeze.
 
C                                  G7       C
It may well be it's followed me across the seas.
 
         G7     C
Then tell me please...
 
 
[Verse]
(in 3/4)
 
--                        C
How are things in Glocca Morra?
 
                            G7
Is that little brook still leaping there?
 
 
Does it still run down through Donny Cove?
 
                        C
Through Killybegs? Killkerry and Kildare?
 
 
---                       C
How are things in Glocca Morra?
 
                             G7
Is that willow tree still weeping there?
 
 
Does that lassie with the twinkling eye come smiling by
 
                                                    C
and does she walk away sad and dreamy there not to see me there.
 
 
 
 C    F        G7       C             F      G7        C
So I ask each weeping willow and each brook along the way,
 
         F                  G7            C
And each lass that comes a-whistling to relay,
 
           F                 G7           C
How are things in Glocca Morra this fine day?
