[Em] _ _ [E] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ Will you come to [B] the Bower, O'er the free [E] boundless ocean,
Where still [B] pendulous waves roll in thunder [E] and motion,
_ Where the mermaids are seen and the wild tempest gathers,
To love therein the green, the dear [B] land of our fathers?
[E] Will you come, will [B] you, will you, will you come [E] to the Bower?
_ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [E] Will you come to the [B] land of O'Neill [E] and O'Donnell,
Of Lord [B] Lucan of old and the immortal [E] O'Connell?
_ Where Brian Chase, the day man, St.
Patrick, the merman,
And whose valleys remain [B] still most beautiful and charming,
Will [E] you [Em] come, will [B] you, will you, will you [E] come to the Bower? _ _
[B] _ _ _ [E] _ You can visit [B]
Pembroke and the [E] storied Blackwater,
Where own Rome met [B] Monroe and his [E] chieftains did slaughter.
_ Where the lambs fort and play on the mossy all over,
From those bright golden views to [B] enchanting Ross Trevor,
[E] Will you come, [B] will you, will you, will you [E] come to the Bower?
_ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [E] You can see Dublin [B] City and the fine [E] grove of Balarney,
The bandwine, the [B] pillar and the [E] lakes of Killarney.
You can ride on the tide o'er the broad majestic Shannon,
You can sail round Lough Ney and [B] see storied Dunganon.
[E] Where the wind blows from, will you come, will you, [B] will you, will you come [E] to the Bower? _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [E] Will you come and [B] awake our dear land from [E] its slumber,
And earth better than we [B] will break links that long [E] have encumbered?
And the air will resound, _ Hosanna's to greet you on the shore,
Will be [B] found gallant Irish men to meet [E] you.
Will you come, will [B] you, will you, will you come [E] to the Bower?
Will you come, will [B] you, will you, will you come to the [E] Bower? _ _ _
_ _ [N] Thank you very much. _ _ _
