[B]
[G#m]
[E] [A]
[E] [B] [E]
Alone, not by the waved [A] washed strand, [F#]
[B] Alone in a crowded [E]
[A] hall.
[E] [B]
[E] The hall it is gay, and the [Bm] waves they [A] are [F#] grand, But my [B] heart is not here [E] at [F#m] all.
[G]
[E] It [B] flies far [F#m] away, [B]
[E] by night and by day, To [F#] the times and the joys [B] that are gone.
[A]
[G#m] And [B]
[E] I never will forget, the sweet May [D] that I [A] [F#] met, In [B] the valley near Slieve [E]
-Namon.
[A] [E]
[B] It [E] was not the grace of her queenly [A]
[F#] hair, Nor her [B]
cheek of the [E] rose's glow,
[A]
[E] [B] Nor her [E]
soft black eyes, or her [D] flowing [A] [F#] hair, [B] Nor was it her lily [E] white brow,
[F#m] [G] [E]
Was the [B] soul [F#m] of truth, [B] [E] and a [B] melting [E]
roof, And the [F#] smile like a [B] summer's dawn,
[A] [G#m]
[B] That [E] stole my heart away, on a soft [D] summer
[A] [F#] day, In [B] the valley near Slieve [E]-Namon.
[A]
[E] [F#m]
[B]
[E]
[C]
In [F] the festive hall, by the star [A#]-washed [G] shore, [C] Ever my restless [F] spirit [A#] cries,
[F]
[C] My [F]
love, my love, shall I ne'er [D#] see [A#] you [G] more, And [C] my land will you never [F] uprise.
[Gm]
[G#] [F] By
[C] night and [Gm] by [C] day, [F] I [A#] ever, ever [F] pray, [G] While only my life [C] flows [A#] on,
[Am]
[C] [F] To see our flag unfurls, and my true love [Cm] to [A#]
[G] enfold, In [C] the valley near Slieve [F] -Namon.
[A#]
[Am] [Gm] In [C] the valley near Slieve [A#] -Namon.
