Chords for Frank Harte

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The Dublin man was not so much moved by the charms of nature,
_ or the standard form of the _ pastorale in which the poet meets the visionary lady under a myrtle shade.
_ _ But when a Dubliner puts his foot outside a door, he's not walking through some lush green meadow,
bordered by sparkling streams, where one might normally [D#] expect to find a goddess or two, you know, spinning the thread of life.
[A] _ _ _ _
But rather he's [F#] walking along the concrete pavement, trying to avoid [G#] the traffic or the holes in the ground left by the latest [A] Lewis set. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now indeed, _ such was not for the Dublin man.
He walked the streets at evening time,
_ where he would meet his own goddess of sorts, _ _ playing her trade _ in a less ethereal fashion.
_ [D#] _ _ That's in the key of E.
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[E] Is that the right key?
[F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ I've been rehearsing this all day.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sounds low.
_ [N] _ _ _
_ That's it.
That's alright.
The guitar [B] is low.

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ As I was a-walking through [C#m] Dublin city, _ _ _ [Bm]
about the hour of twelve [A] at _ night,
_ _ [Bm] _ [C#] It was there [E] I saw [B] a fair pretty _ [Am] female, washing [E] her feet [F#] by _
_ [B] candlelight. _ _ _ _ _
Well [E] first she washed them and then [C#] she dried them.
_ _ [E]
Round her shoulder [A] she pegged a towel. _
_ _ _ [B] _ [C#m] And in all my life [Em] I never did meet [E] with a maid so _ neat about the soul.
_ [B] She _ _ _ _ had twenty, _ eighteen, sixteen, [C#] _ fourteen, [E] _ twelve, and eight, six, four, [A] two, none. _ _
She [C#m] had nineteen, seventeen, [E] fifteen, [F#] thirteen, _ eleven, nine, seven, [C#m] five, three, [B] and one.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ I stopped to look what the watchman passed, [G] since the young fellow [F] now denied his age.
_ _ _ And along [C#m] with you _ [B] homeward I will wrestle you [E] straightway through [C#] _ the [B] bridewell _ gate. _ _ _ _ _ _
I got [C#m] a look from the Spanish lady, _ _ _ [B] hot as a fire [A] of ambrico. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] And in all my life [G#m] I never did meet [E] with a maid so _ [F#m] neat about the [B] soul.
_ She _ _ _ _ had twenty, eighteen, [C#m] sixteen, fourteen, _ _ [E] _ twelve, and eight, six, four, two, none. _ _
_ [C#m] She had nineteen, seventeen, [B] fifteen, thirteen, [F#] _ eleven, nine, seven, five, three, and _ _
[B] one. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ As I [E] walked back through [C#]
Dublin city, _ _ [E] as the dawn of day [A] was o _ 'er.
_ [G] _ [C#m] Oh, who should I spy [B] but the Spanish lady, _ and I [E] was _ weary and [F#] foot-sore.
_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] She had a heart so filled [C#] with loving, _ _
[E] _ and her love she longed [A] to _ _ share.
_ _ [B] And [C#] in all my life [Bm] I never did [F#] meet with a maid that had so much to [B] spare. _ _ _
_ _ _ She had twenty, _ [C#m] eighteen, sixteen, _ [G#] fourteen, _ _ _ [E] twelve, and eight, six, [A] four, two, _ none.
_ _ [F#]
She [C#m] had nineteen, seventeen, [B] fifteen, _ thirteen, _ eleven, [E] nine, seven, five, [F#] _ three, and one. _
[B] I _ _ _ _ [E] have wandered north and I have [C#] wandered south, _ [E] through Stoney, Bathor and [A] Padraig's _ close. _ _ _ _
[G] And [C#m] up and around [E] by the Gloucester diamond, _ [A] back [E] by _ _ [G#]
Napertandy's house.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] But old age [B] has laid her hand [C#m] upon _ me, _ _ [B] _ cold as a [E] fire of ash [A] he calls. _ _ _ _
[B] _ [C#m] And _ gone is the [B]
lovely _ Spanish _ lady, [A] _
_ [E] neat and sweet [C#] about [B] the soul she. _
She _ had twenty, _ [C#m] eighteen, sixteen, _ fourteen, _ [E] _
twelve, and eight, six, four, [A] two, _ none.
_ _ [C#m] She had nineteen, [G#m] seventeen, fifteen, thirteen, [E] eleven, nine, seven, [C#] five, three, [F#] and _ [B] one.
Oh _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ fortune, _ _ _ [E] where it rests now [A] _ wearies _ me. _ _
[F] _ _ [C#] All _ fair young [B] maids are so _ deceiving, _ sad _ [E] _ [F#] experience teaches _ me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] She had _ twenty, eighteen, _ [C#m] sixteen, fourteen, _ _ [E] twelve, and eight, six, four, [A] two, none. _
[B] She had [C#m] nineteen, seventeen, [B] fifteen, _ [E] thirteen, _ [A] eleven, [E] nine, seven, _ [F#m] five, _ [E] three, and one. _ _ _ _ _ _
