[Verse 1]
     D                  G       D
When I was a lad on the Emerald Isle
  G          D                       Bm
I heard many stories both lovely and wild
   D                        G             D
About the great dragons and monsters that be
     G           D                           Bm
That swallow the ships when they sail on the sea.

[Refrain]
       G
Though I was an artist with canvas and paint
                                        D
I sailed with St. Brendan and his jolly saints
   G
We told the good people goodbye for a while
   D              A              D          G
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle
   D              A              D
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle.

[Verse 2]
                           G  D
We'd been on the ocean for 94 days
        G         D                       Bm
When we came to a spot where the sea was ablaze
      D                      G            D
Those demons from Hades were dancing with glee
    G           D                    Bm
And burning the sailors alive on the sea

[Refrain]
     G
Then St. Brendan he walked on the blistering waves
                                          D
He threw those demons right back to their caves
    G
And all of the saints wore a heavenly smile
   D              A              D          G
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle
   D              A              D
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle.

[Verse 3]
    D                             G      D
One night while the brethren were lying asleep
  G            D                      Bm
A great dragon came up from under the deep
   D                            G            D
He thundered and light'nend and made a great din
    G           D                      Bm
He awakened St. Brendan and all of his men

[Refrain]
    G
The dragon came on with his mouth open wide
                                         D
We threw in a cross and the great dragon died
   G
We skinned him and cooked him and feasted a while
   D              A              D          G
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle
   D              A              D
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle.

[Verse 4]
   D
At last we came onto that beautiful land
                                        Bm
We all went ashore and we walked on the sand
   D
We took our longbows and we killed us a boo
   G          D                   Bm
We roasted it up and had hot barbecue

[Refrain]
    G
And after a while we were singing this song
                                  D
We noticed the island was moving along
   G
We ate and we drank and we rolled in high style
   D              A              D          G
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle
   D              A              D
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle.

[Verse 5]
    D                           G          D
St. Brendan said "Boys, this is much to my wish
    G           D                           Bm
"We ride on the back of the world's biggest fish.
      D                        G           D
"Hold fast to the rope that is pullin' the ship
       G            D                        Bm
"We'll need it some day if this fish takes a dip."

[Refrain]
   G
We sailed every ocean, we sailed every sea
                                         D
We sailed every spot that a sailor could be
   G
In 44 days we sailed 10 million miles
   D              A              D          G
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle
   D              A              Bm    G
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle.

[Outro]
   D              A              D          G
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle, fair isle
   D              A              D
We sailed for St. Brendan's fair isle.
