Oh the calling from [C#m] the mountains, [E] this calling is all to me
The [B] smell of sanded [E] heather [B] brings bitter memories
Oh wild and lowly [E] he called when [A] I was in the [B] summer sky
[C#m] Oh the fields [E] were shining and golden, [B] and my love would realize
I [E] met him in [C#m] the wintertime [E] when the snow was on the ground
[B] And the Irish hills were peaceful [E] then, [A] and love was [B] all around
And scarcely twenty [E]-one years old, [F#] a [A] young man in [B] his prime
We were [E] married, darling Willie, by the eve of [E] Christmas time
Oh do you remember, [C#m] darling, when [A] we walked the [E] moonlit road
[B] Our hands they [E] were entwined then, [A] I'd never let [B] you go
I held you in my [E] arms, my love, beneath the pale [B] moonlight
[C#m] Near fields of [E] shining golden, all alone [B] in the winters [E] and night
And [B]
[E] then came the call [C#m] to arms, my love, [A] and the hills they were [E] aflame
[B] Down from the silent [G#m] [E] mountains, [A] a Saxon stranger [B] came
I held you in my [E] arms then, [A] my young heart, [B] wild with fear
[C#m] In fields of shining [E] golden, in the springtime home with thee
You fought, darling [C#m] Willie, [A] off with the summer [B] days
I heard the rifles [G#m] [E] firing in [A] the mountains far [B] away
I held you in my [E] arms, my love, your [A] blood ran free [B]
and bright
And [C#m] you died in shining [A] golden, all alone [B] in the summers and night
[E]
Ah but that was long ago, [C#m] my love, [E] now our son grows fine and tall
[Em]
And the [B] hills they are [G#m] at peace [E] again, and the [A] Saxon [E] stranger [B] gone
I'll place a rose [E] upon your grave beneath the [B] dim light
I'll [C#m] think of [E] you in the golden, all alone in the [B] winters and night
The [B] smell of sanded [E] heather [B] brings bitter memories
Oh wild and lowly [E] he called when [A] I was in the [B] summer sky
[C#m] Oh the fields [E] were shining and golden, [B] and my love would realize
