This is one of my all time favourite irish songs, Gaelic Storm's "I Miss My Home."
You know what they say necessity is the mother of invention, no one else had the
chords for this song...so I figured them out. Really easy song, just get down the
irish strum pattern and you've got it.
I MISS MY HOME
By: Gaelic Storm
INTRO: G - C - D (x2)
Whe[G]n I was a baby boy,
Me ma[C]mmy said [D]to me,
"Don't m[G]ess around with them Irish Girls,
They'll [C]never let[D] you be!"
Well,[G] I went off to Dublin,
To [C]see [D]what I coul[Em]d see...
C D- (stop)
They filled me up with whiskey, boys!
They never let me be!
Chorus:
I miss my h[G]ome!
The c[C]himney stacks and th[D]e cobbled streets I[G] roam,
[C]Wherever [D]I go, when I[G] find [(D)]myself alon[C]e,[C]
I just cl[C]ose my eyes and the[D] memories take me ho[G]me.
When I was a little boy,
Me mammy said to me,
Don't mess around with them French girls, they'll never let you be,
I took a trip to Paris, France,
To see what I could see...
They filled me up with Ooh la la!
They never let me be!
CHORUS
When I was a young man,
Me mammy said to me,
Stay away from all those Yankee girls,
They'll never let you be,
So I went to New York City,
To see what I could see,
They put mustard on me hot dog, boys!
They never let me be!
CHORUS
(Violin Solo)
Bridge:
[G]It's finally plain to see,[C][D]
[G]They'll never let you be,[C][D]
Em C D- (stop)
I should have listened to all the things,
Me mammy said to me!
CHORUS
And now I am an old man,
At the age of 93
I'm on my way to heaven, boys,
To see what I can see,
St. Peter's at them pearly gates,
And as he opens up the door,
He says you're not finished yet me b'yyyy!
You're goin' back for more!
CHORUS
Well I just[C] close my eyes and th[D]e memories take m[G]e home.
I close my eyes and the memories take me home...
I close my eyes and the memories take me home...

The chord progressions stay the same the whole song. Exception of bridge.
