verse 1 
     D                  G       D 
When I was a lad on the Emerald Isle 
  G          D                       Bm 
I heard many stories both lovely and wild 
   D                        G             D 
About the great dragons and monsters that be 
     G           D                           Bm 
That swallow the ships when they sail on the sea. 

Refrain 
       G 
Though I was an artist with canvas and paint 
                                        D 
I sailed with St. Brendan and his jolly saints 
   G 
We told the good people goodbye for a while 
   D              A              D          G 
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle

verse 2 
                           G  D 
We'd been on the ocean for 94 days 
        G         D                       Bm 
When we came to a spot where the sea was ablaze 
      D                      G            D 
Those demons from Hades were dancing with glee 
    G           D                    Bm 
And burning the sailors alive on the sea 

Refrain 
     G 
Then St. Brendan he walked on the blistering waves 
                                          D 
He threw those demons right back to their caves 
    G 
And all of the saints wore a heavenly smile 
   D              A              D          G 
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle 
   D              A              D 
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle. 

verse 3 
    D                             G      D 
One night while the brethren were lying asleep 
  G            D                      Bm 
A great dragon came up from under the deep 
   D                            G            D 
He thundered and light'nend and made a great din 
    G           D                      Bm 
He awakened St. Brendan and all of his men 

Refrain 
    G 
The dragon came on with his mouth open wide 
                                         D 
We threw in a cross and the great dragon died 
   G 
We skinned him and cooked him and feasted a while 
   D              A              D          G 
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle 
   D              A              D 
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle.

verse 4 
   D 
At last we came onto that beautiful land 
                                        Bm 
We all went ashore and we walked on the sand 
   D 
We took our longbows and we killed us a boo 
   G          D                   Bm 
We roasted it up and had hot barbecue 

Refrain 
    G 
And after a while we were singing this song 
                                  D 
We noticed the island was moving along 
   G 
We ate and we drank and we rolled in high style 
   D              A              D          G 
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle

St. Brendan said "Boys, this is much to my wish 
    G           D                           Bm 
"We ride on the back of the world's biggest fish. 
      D                        G           D 
"Hold fast to the rope that is pullin' the ship 
       G            D                        Bm 
"We'll need it some day if this fish takes a dip." 

Refrain 
   G 
We sailed every ocean, we sailed every sea 
                                         D 
We sailed every spot that a sailor could be 
   G 
In 44 days we sailed 10 million miles 
   D              A              D          G 
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle
