The Irish Pub Song Of The Day this time around is Winds of Morning. It’s a great song by Tommy Makem. It’s a great song for a frailing banjo lesson. Every melody note is right out of the chords.

Have fun with it and enjoy!

WINDS OF MORNING

I’ve walked the [G]hills when rain was [C]falling rested [D7]by a wide oak [G]tree

Heard a lark sing high at [C]evening caught a [D7]moonbeam on the [G]sea

Chorus:

Softly blow ye winds of [C]morning. Sing ye [D7]winds your mournful [G]sound

Blow ye from the earth’s four [C]corners. Guide this [D7]traveler where he’s [G]bound

I’ve helped a ploughman tend his horses
Heard a rippling river sing
Talked to stars when night was falling
Seen a primrose welcome spring

Chorus

By foreign shores, my feet have wandered
Heard a stranger call me friend
Every time my mind was troubled
Found a smile around the bend

Chorus

There’s a ship stands in the harbor
All prepared to cross the foam
Far off hills were fair and friendly
