Take Me Home To Mayo lyrics and chords Written by Seamus Robinson Seamus has written some great songs over the years ncluding-The Provie Birdie-City Of Dreams-Fianna Boy Guiseppe Conlon,to name bur a few. Thanks a million to Seamus for letting me includehis tribute to Michael Gaughan here. Michael Gaughan was twenty four when he died on

hunger strike after sixty four days. The guitar chords are in the key of G Major.

Take[G] me home to mayo,across the Irish[D] sea,

Home to dear old Mayo where[D7] once I roamed so[G] free,

Take me home to Mayo,and let my body[C] lie,

Home at last in[G] Mayo,[D]beneath an[D7] Irish[G] sky.

[2]

My name is Michael Gaughin,from Ballina I came,

I saw my country suffering,and swore to break the chains,

I raised the flag in England,prepared to fight or die,

Far away from Mayo,beneath an Irish sky.

[3]

My body cold and hungry,in Parkhurst jail I lie,

For the loving of my country,on hunger strike I die,

I have just one last longing,I pray you'll not deny,

Bury me in Mayo,beneath an Irish sky.
