_ _ [Bm] By the sweet bay [G] of Dublin, [Em] while [F#m] carelessly [G] _ strollin',
[Bm] I sat myself [F#m] down by [Bm] a green [A] myrtle [G] shed,
_ [B] [Bm] Reclined on [F#m] the beach as [Em] the wild [F#m] waves [G] were [A] _ [D] rollin',
In sorrowful [G] _ condolin' [A] I saw a [D] fair maid,
[Bm] Her robes [A] changed [G] to mourning [Em] that once [F#m] were so [G] glorious,
[Bm] I stood in [F#m] amazement [Bm] to hear her [G] sad wail,
[Bm] Her heart strings [F#m] burst forth with [E] [Em] wild [F#m] assent [G] [A] uproarin' us,
[D] Sayin', Where, where is [G] my black bard [A] of sweet [D] _
Avondey?
[G] [Bm] And the fair [A]
[G] Countess Meath, [E] waxed for Cork [F#m] and [G] _ Tavonetay,
[Bm] The rights of [F#m] Auld Island [Bm] my black [A] bard [G] did sing,
[Bm] Ah, but woe to [F#m] thee, our _ [E] [Em] Oathheart, [F#m] late [G] and [A] deadly,
[D] Away from [G] my arms [A] to Dublin [D] to go in,
[Bm] The Fowler's [G] wail at hand, [Em] and hopes [F#m] to [G] ensnare him,
[Bm] While I hear [F#m] in sorrow [Bm] his absence [A] _
[G] bewell,
Oh, [Bm] it grieves me [F#m] to think that [Em] the walls [F#] of [G] [A] Kilmennum
[D] Surround my [G] dear black bard [A] of sweet _
[Bm] Avondey,
_ [G] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [F#m] _ [G] _ [A] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ [G] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [F#m] _ [G] _ [A] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ [G] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [F#m] _ [G] _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [D]
Oh, island my [G] country, [Em] awake [F#m] from [G] your slumbers,
[Bm] And give back [F#m] my black bard [Bm] so dear [D] unto [G] me,
And [Bm] let every one [F#m] know by the [Em] strength [D] of [G] your [A] numbers,
[D] That we as [G] a nation [A] would wish to be [D] free,
_ [G]
[Bm] The cold prison [G] dungeons [Em] is no [B] _ [G] habitation,
[Bm] For one to [F#m] his country [Bm] was loyal _ [G] and true,
Then [Bm] give him his [F#m] freedom [Em] without _ [F#m] _ [G] [A] hesitation,
[D] And remember he [G] fought hard [A] for freedom [D] and you,
[G]
[Bm] Oh, have him give [G] ear to [Em] my _ [F#m] [G] consultation, _
[Bm] And strengthen the [F#m] bold sons [Bm] of old _ [G] Granwell,
And [Bm] God grant that my [F#m] country [Em] will soon [F#m] be [G] a [A] nation,
[D] And bring back my [G] black bard [A] to sweet _ [Bm] Avondey.
