Verse 1

 I was bDorn in a country where people admGire

 Their great sporting heroes and Emhow they aspire

 To stGand upon mountains and alEmways be winners

 And neGver give less than their aDll.

 I once met an old man who told me great stoGries

 Of legends of old who played hEmard for the glory

 Of lifGting the cup in that moEmment of triumph

 His memGories kept me enthrDalled.

Chorus

 On the fiCelds, the fiGelds of glDory.

 On the fiCelds where bGoys become mDen.

 On the fiCelds, the fiGelds of glDory.

 May the bCest team wEmin, win in the eDnd.

Follow the same chord progression for all but the last verse

Verse 2

Supporting their team with a true sense of place

Are the handfuls of people with pride on their faces

They come from the homelands, the parish, the village

Their banners they proudly unfurl

An anthem of hope is the song they are singing

There's a whistle, it sounds, and the game, it begins

The roar from the crowd echoes up to the heavens

It sends out a clarion call.

Chorus

Verse 3

I'm dreaming of Ireland in fine summer weather

A crowd of young lads playing football together

All hoping that someday, the call they will answer

To play for the place they were born

Chorus

Verse 4

CI'm dreaming of Ireland in fine summer weather

A crowd of young lads playing football together

The roar from the crowd echoes up to the heavens

It sends out a clarion call
