In the shadow of a chestnut tree I hide, [F] sword and a pistol [G] by my [C] side.
[G] Long come a traveler lay [Cm] him low, all for the love of my Molly O.
[Fm] I left my family, left my home, [C]
out in [Fm] the wicked [Cm] world to roam.
The road to love I won't go, down for the love of my Molly O.
Oh Molly, [Gm] Oh [C] Molly, [Cm] Oh Molly, [Bb] all for the love of [Cm] my Molly O.
I love Molly, God only knows.
