C     G/B   Am
I am high upon a mountain
     C       C/G    D
When morning calls around it
      G     F        Am
Where I was all with my love
      F            G
Birds fly upon the wing

[Verse]
N.C.  C      G/B  C
There horses go a-riding
    Am    C/G        D
And messengers bring tidings
    G     F        Am
And every day they sail away
         F               G
Like the sun beneath the sea

[Chorus]
N.C.   C        G/B       C
Search where no ships are sailing
   Am              G
No sound of hearts breaking
   C       G       C   F   D
Or down in deepest Africa
                     G       C
No one will find him there

[Verse 3]
N.C. C        G/B       C
But  down the sounds of evening
   Am      C/G     D
In days of my love leaving
         G        F         Am
You will hear the dance rise all around
    F           G
The Isle of Malachy

[Verse]
N.C. C        G/B       C
Now  waves of stars are breaking
     Am     C/G       D
They lie on shores of evening
         G          F    Am
And they burn at my eyes dreaming
     F                G
Of a fire to melt the sea

[Verse]
N.C.   C     G/B       C
I will say a prayer forever
       Am      C/G       D
I will go with light and thunder
    G         F        Am
And tell each soul and stranger
    F             G
The tale and history

[Chorus]
N.C.   C        G/B       C
Search where no ships are sailing
   Am              G
No sound of hearts breaking
   C       G       C   F   D
Or down in deepest Africa
                     G       C
No one will find him there

[Verse]
N.C. C        G/B       C
But  down the sounds of evening
   Am      C/G     D
In days of my love leaving
         G       F        Am
You will see the fire rise all around
    F           G
The Isle of Malachy
