There’s a tear in your eye, and I’m wondering why
G7   |   G7   | C     | C     | G7 | G7
For it never should be there at all   With such power in your smile
      C |      A7 |   D7 | D7     | G7 | G7

Sure a stone you’d beguile   So there’s never a teardrop should fall
          C |     C | C   | C
When your sweet lilting laughter’s like some fairy song
G7     | C     C7 | F   | F
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be
          D7 |   D7 | G         | G | D7     | D7 | G | G7
You should laugh all the while and all other times smile  And now smile a smile for me
            C |   C | C   | C | F      | F | C | C
When Irish eyes are smiling, sure’n tis like a morn in spring
F       | F     | C |   A7 | D7 |    D7 | G | G7
In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing
    C   | C |  C7 | C7    | F |   F | C |    C
When Irish hearts are happy All the world seems bright and gay
F     | F-   | C |    A7 | D7    | G7 | C
And when Irish eyes are smiling Sure they steal your heart away
        C
For your smile is a part, of the love in your heart
G7     C
And it makes even sunshine more bright
        G7                         C A7                 D7 G7

Like the linnet’s sweet song  Crooning all the day long Comes your laughter and light
        C
For the springtime of life, is the sweetest of all
G7       C
And there is ne’er a real care or regret
          G7                                     C A7
And while springtime is ours   Throughout all of youth’s hours
      D7               G
Let us smile each chance we get
    C                               F C
When Irish eyes are smiling, sure’n tis like a morn in spring
F                    C A7 D7             G
In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing
    C                   C7 F     C
When Irish hearts are happy All the world seems bright and gay

And when Irish eyes are smiling Sure they steal your heart away
