Come [G]
[Em] over the hills, [C] my handsome Irish lad.
[G] Come over [Em] the hills to [C] your darling.
[Bm] [C] You [Em] choose the road, [Am] love, now [Em] make the vow
[G] That I'll be [Em] your true love [E]
[G] forever.
Red [Em] is the rose [A] in yonder garden [Am] grows.
[G] There [Em] is the lily [C] of the [Bm] valley.
[C] And clear [G] is the water that [B] flows [C] from [Am] the point.
[G] For my love [C] is [Em] [B] fairer than
[G] any.
Down [Em] by Killarney [A] greenwoods ever get stray.
[G] The moon and the [Em] stars, they [C] were
[D] shining.
The [C] moon [G] shone its rays on [A] his lugs of golden waves.
[G] And he swore he'd [Em] be my love [D]
[G] forever.
