Chords for Lovely Derry (Home to Derry) - Conor Mc Ginty

_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
Oh, [Eb] I know a wee spot
It is a place [Ab] of great fame
And it lies [Eb] to the north _
Sure, I'll tell you [Bb] its name
_ It's [D] _ [Eb] my own native birthplace
And [F] it's on [Ab] Irish soil _
Sure, they [Eb] called it lovely dairy
[Bb] On the banks [Eb] of the Foy
[Cm] And _ [Eb] I called it a wee lass _
Her age [Ab] was nineteen
[Eb] _ _ _
She was the fairest cowling
[Bb] That ever you seen
For [D] _
_ [Eb] her cheeks were like roses
And her hair weaved in _ coir
And she [F] came from [Eb] a lovely dairy
[Bb] On the banks [Eb] of the Foy
_ [Ab] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] _ But [Eb] now a _ cruelest fortune
Drove me from [Ab] my home
T'was my [Eb] fate in deep sorrow
To sail o'er [Bb] the foam
_ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] And now from those dark strangers
In [F] grief [Ab] I recall
[Eb] _ _ _ While I pined for lovely dairy
[Bb] On the banks [Eb] of the Foy
_ [Cm] Oh, [Ab] _ [Eb] I mind when I left her
To cross o'er [Ab] the _ sea
For to [Eb] meet my own fortune
For Mary [Bb] and me
_ _ _ [Eb] I cried when I left her
_ But my tears fell to toys
_ _ [Ab] Far away from [Eb] lovely dairy
_ [Bb] On the banks [Eb] of the Foy
_ _ _ But a wee bird came flying
_ From over [Ab] the sea
_ _ _ And he brought [Eb] me a letter
_ My true love [Bb] to see
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Saying, come home my darling
To your own native [Ab]
soil
_ _ [Abm] And I'll wed [Eb] you in dairy
[Bb] On the banks [Eb] of the Foy
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] Now you and I make my fortune
_ As far _ [Ab] as home I'll go
_ _ _ To the land [Eb] of my boyhood
The sweet [Bb] girl I know
_ _ _ [Eb] I will build her a mansion
And need more [Ab] will we toy
_ _ Far away from lovely dairy
_ _ _ On the [Bb] _ _ _ banks [Ab] of the [G] Foy
[Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
