When Irish Eyes Are Smiling (Chauncey Olcott, George Graff, Jr., & Ernest R. Ball, 1912)

CThere's a tear in your eye, and I'm wondering why G7For it never should be there at allWith such power in your smile C A7Sure a stone you'd be-guile D7 GSo there's never a teardrop should fall CWhen your sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song C C7 FAnd your eyes twinkle bright as can be D7 You should laugh all the while G G7and all other times smile D7 G G7And now smile a smile for me

Chorus: C G C | CWhen Irish eyes are smiling, F C | CSure tis like a morn in spring. F C A7In the lilt of Irish laughter D7 G | GYou can hear the angels sing. C G C C7When Irish hearts are happy, F C | CAll the world seems bright and gay, F C A7And when Irish eyes are smil-ing, D7 G7 C | CSure they’ll steal your heart away.

CFor your smile is a part, of the love in your heart G7And it makes even sunshine more brightLike the linnet's sweet song C A7Crooning all the day long D7 GComes your laughter so tender and light. CFor the springtime of life, is the sweetest of all C C7 FAnd there is ne'er a real care or re-gret D7And while springtime is ours G G7Throughout all of youth's hours D7 G G7Let us smile each chance we get.

[Chorus] (2x)Outro Retard F C A7 And when Irish eyes are smil-ing D7 G7 C_ C C C [Hold]Sure they’ll steal your heart a-way.
