lyrics

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
by W. B. Yeats

Intro: Em/A G/E Fmaj7 Am7 x2

Am Em F Am
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
C G Am
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
C G F Am
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
C G Am
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

F G Am C G
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
F G Am D
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
C Dm F Em
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
Dm C Em
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

intro

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
