verse 1: 
     D                       A                           
They say that the lakes of Killarney are fair 
                                   G       A                     
That no stream like the Liffey can ever compare, 
        D                           A                            
If it's water you want, you'll find nothing more rare 
                         G       A   D 
Than the stuff they make down by the ocean.
