[A] Oh, after [E] the [A] morning [Bm] [A] there comes an [E] evening, [A] And after the evening another [D]
day.
[A] And after a [E]
[A] false love there comes a [Bm]
true [E] [A] love, [D] I'd have [A] you listen now [E] to what I say.
[Bm] [E] My love he [A] is as fine a [E] young man, [A] As fair as an e'en [E] the [A] sun shines [D]
on.
[A] But how to [E]
save him [A] I do [E] not know [A] it, [D] For now [A] he's got a sentence [E] to be hung.
[Bm] [A] As he [Dm] was a [E]-marching [A] the [D] [A] streets of [E] Derry, [Bm] [F#m] I own he marched a [E] bright [A] man will [D] be,
[A] Being much [E] more [A] like [D] [A] a [E] commanding [C#m] officer [A] Than [D] a man [A] to die upon [E] the gallows tree.

[E] [A] keeps [E] my [A] love she [E] [A] so long in [E] coming?
[F#m] Oh, [D] what [A] detains her [E] so long [D] from me?
Or does [E] she think [D]
[A] it a shame [E] or [A] scandal To [D] see [A] me die upon the [E] gallows tree?
He [A] looked around and [E] he [A] saw her [E] coming As she rode [A] swifter [E] than the [D] wind.
I'll let [E] them [A] see that they [D] dare [E] not hang [A] you, And I'll crown my love with a bunch [E] of cream.
