[Chorus by 2]

 I've[G] travelled many counties in Ireland
but there's still one I'm longing to[D7] see
it has[Am] been a part of my[D7] homeland
and it brings back fond memories to[G] me
where I wandered alone in my childhood
reviewing the sights I once[D7] seen
as I[Am] walked through the parks and the[D7] forests
'round the beautiful county of[G] Meath.

[chorus] Oh,[G] beautiful Meath, you've got all that I need,
your rivers they flow with de[D7]light
your[Am] fields are so green, there's[D7] plains to be seen
and your towns are so gay and so[G] bright
[D7]fishing[G] down on the Boyne, I remember the time
you would think it was all just a[D7] dream
and wher[Am]ever you roam, there's[D7] no place like home
and the beautiful county of[G] Meath.

I've seen Eire's beautiful castles
and it's history I've learned so well
I've read of the high kings of Tara
and the wonderful Book of Kells
where the slain still remember St. Patrick
he lit a fire for the people to see
'ere he brought love and kindness to Ireland
and the beautiful County of Meath.
