CHORUS:)
          D         A7       D
          Limerick, you're a lady,
          D7   G       Em7                      D
          Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow,
              Bm          F#m
          The beauty that surrounds you,
            Em7             G                A7
          I take it with me love where ere I go,
                D             A7              Bm
          While waking in the arms of distant waters,
                G            Em7           A7
          A new day finds me far away from home,
               D         A7       D
          Then Limerick, you're a lady,
          D7           Em7         A7        D
          The one true love that I have ever known.

D                      DMaj7 G               D
          As children you and I, spent endless days of fun,
             G              Em7            D
          In winter snow or summers golden sun,
             Bm                            F#m          Bm
          We fished in silver springs, the fabric of my dreams,
              Em7                               G            D7
          Was fashioned by your loveliness, and so I have to say,

CHO:

A gift that time has made, to travelers on their way,

Seeking out the beauty of our land,

A shrine where children pray, and bells ring out to say,

Thank God we're living just to feel, the freedom of each day,

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
