[Chorus]
    Em
The host is riding from Knocknarea
Em
And over the grave of Clooth-na-Bare
Em
Caoilte tossing his burning hair
                                A
And Niamh calling, "Away, come away
            Em
Away, come away
 C  Bm  Em
Away______
 C  Bm  Em
Away______

[Verse]
    B
The wind's awake, leaves swirl round
    Am
Our cheeks are pale, our hair unbound
    B
Our breasts a'heave, our eyes are agleam
B
Empty your heart of its mortal dream

[Chorus]
    Em
The host is riding from Knocknarea
Em
And over the grave of Clooth-na-Bare
Em
Caoilte tossing his burning hair
                                A
And Niamh calling, "Away, come away
            Em
Away, come away
 C  Bm  Em
Away______
 C  Bm  Em
Away______

[Verse]
    B
Our arms a'wave, our lips are apart
       Am
And if any should gaze upon our band
   B
We come between him and the hope of his heart
B
We come between him and the deed of his hand

[Chorus]
    Em
The host is riding from Knocknarea
Em
And over the grave of Clooth-na-Bare
Em
Caoilte tossing his burning hair
                                A
And Niamh calling, "Away, come away
            Em
Away, come away
