When Irish Eyes Are Smiling chords
Lyric:  Chauncey Olcott and Geo. Graff, Jr.; Music: Ernest R. Ball  1912)

A7 D A  A D A  E7 A7 D  A7

          D            AThere's a tear in your eye,
        D         AAnd I'm wondering why,
       D                        AFor it never should be there at all.
          A7With such pow'r in your smile,
       D             B7Sure a stone you'd beguile,
           E7      E               A   A7So there's never a teardrop should fall.
          D             AWhen your sweet lilting laughter's
     D          ALike some fairy song,
         D                          AAnd your eyes twinkle bright as can be;
           EYou should laugh all the while
        AAnd all other times smile,
         E7      E         A   A7And now, smile a smile for me.

     D     A        D             When Irish eyes are smiling,
           G                Dsure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
       G             D       B7In the lilt of Irish laughter,
        E7              A7you can hear the angels sing.
     D     A          D7When Irish hearts are happy,
        G                      Dall the world seems bright and gay.
         G              D   B7And when Irish eyes are smiling,
           E7         A7     D   G Dsure, they steal your heart away.


For your smile is a part
Of the love in your heart,
And it makes even sunshine more bright.
Like the linnet's sweet song,
Crooning all the day long,
Comes your laughter and light.
For the springtime of life
Is the sweetest of all
There is ne'er a real care or regret;
And while springtime is ours
Throughout all of youth's hours,
Let us smile each chance we get.
