Arranged by Autumn Hill, Rockland Ukulele Orchestra
INTRO
C / / C / / C / / C / /
There’s a
VERSE 1
C / / C / /
Tear in your eye, and
C / / G / /
I'm wondering why, for it
C / / C / / C / / C / /
Never should be there at all. With such
G7 / / G7 / /
Power in your smile, sure a
C / / A7 / /
Stone you'd beguile so there’s
D7 / / D7 / / G7 / / G7 / /
Never a teardrop should fall. When your
C / / C / / C / / G7 / /
Sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song and your
C / / C7 / / F / / F / /
Eyes twinkle bright as can be, you should
D7 / / D7 / / G / / G / /
Laugh all the while and all other times smile, and now
D7 / / D7 / / G / / G / /
Smile a smile for me. When
CHORUS
C / / C / / C / / C7 / /
I - rish eyes are smiling, sure its
F / / F / / C / / C / /
like a morn in spring. In the
F / / F / / C / / A7 / /
Lilt of I - rish laughter, you can
D7 / / D7 / / G / / G7 / /
hear the a - ngels sing. When
C / / C / / C / / C7 / /
I - rish hearts are happy All the
F / / F / / C / / C / /
world seems bright and gay. And when
F / / F / / C / / A7 / /
I - rish eyes are smi - ling, Sure they
D7 / / G7 / / C / / C / /
steal your heart away. For your
​
VERSE 2
C / / C / / C / / G / /
Smile is a part, of the love in your heart, and it
C / / C / / C / / C / /
Makes even sunshine more bright. Like the
G7 / / G / /
Linnet's sweet song, crooning
C / / A7 / /
All the day long, comes your
D7 / / D / / G7 / / G7 / /
Laughter so tender and light. For the
C / / C / / C / / G7 / /
Springtime of life, is the sweetest of all, there is
C / / C7 / / F / / F / /
ne'er a real care or regret. And while
D7 / / D7 / / G / / G / /
Springtime is ours through out all of youth’s hours. Let us
D7 / / D7 / / G / / G / /
Smile each chance we get
CHORUS
C / / C / / C / / C7 / /
I - rish eyes are smiling, sure its
F / / F / / C / / C / /
like a morn in spring. In the
F / / F / / C / / A7 / /
Lilt of I - rish laughter, you can
D7 / / D7 / / G / / G7 / /
hear the a - ngels sing. When
C / / C / / C / / C7 / /
I - rish hearts are happy All the
F / / F / / C / / C / /
world seems bright and gay. And when
F / / F / / C / / A7 / /
I - rish eyes are smi - ling, Sure they
D7 / / G7 / / C / / C / /
steal your heart away. (When)
REPEAT
