Siúil a Rún (Irish Love Song) - Clannad Guitar Chords

Intro --Am----G-Am---F---G--Am---C---Am---G--Am
--F----G---F--Am--F--G--Am
----------Am---------Em---------F

Am----G-Am---F---G--Am
I wish I was on yonder hill
------C--Am-G-Am--F----G
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,
-------F---Am---------F--G-Am
And every tear would turn a mill,
---------Am--------Em-----Am
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus (in phonetic Gaelic)
Am----G-Am---F---G--Am
Shule, shule, shule aroon,
------C--Am-G-Am--F------G
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
-------F---Am---------F--G-Am
Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,
---------Am------Em-------F
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel,
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,
To buy my love a sword of steel
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red,
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread,
Until my parents shall wish me dead,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
I wish I had my heart again,
And vainly think I'd not complain,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

But now my love has gone to France,
To try his fortune to advance;
If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

Another one I couldn't find on the internet - so here it is!
There are no words so I'll try and estimate the timing as best I can.

Two Sisters - Clannad guitar chords

I haven't found this anywhere on the internet but I think I have most of it worked out so here it is! In the recording the first verse has just vocals but for simplicity I've put the chords on there. Enjoy!

C--------------------------------- F
There were two sisters side by side
------------C -------------F
Sing aye dum, sing aye day
--------C -------------------------F
There were two sisters side by side
------Am-------G -------F
The boys are born for me
---------------------------G-------C
There were two sisters side by side
---------------------------------Am
The eldest for young johnny cried
G ------C -------F
I'll be true for my love
----G-------------- C
If he'll be true to me

Johnny bought the youngest a gay gold ring...
He never bought the eldest a single thing...

Johnny bought the youngest a beaver hat...
The eldest never thought much of that...

As they were walking by the foamy brim...



The eldest pushed the youngest in...

Sister, oh sister give me thy hand...
And you can have johnny and all his land...

Sister I won't give you my hand...
And i'll have johnny and all his land...

So there she sank and away she swam...
Until she came to the miller's dam...

Miller took away her gay gold ring...
And then he pushed her in again...

Miller he was hanged on the mountain head...
The eldest sister was boiled in lead...
