The Benedy Glen-Deanta Chords

[Em] _ _ _ _ _ Through Benedictine _
Of the deep have I _ wandered
With the heart that is later
_ Than the dew of the morn
_ _ Her heather _ -clad mountains
_ And clear crystal _ _ _ [C] fountains
_ Delightful to view
By the light of the dawn
_ I see her green [G] hair
_ [C] And swift _ running _ _ streamlets _ _ _
[Bm] Eternally flowing right [D] onto _ the sea
_ _ By [Bm] her side I lie [C] down on
[Am] A bank of blue [Em] _ _ violets
[Am] And it's _ murmuring and [Em] gurgling
Her music to me _
_ _ In [C] far _ foreign [G] _ lands
Off [Em] to her [Bm] songs wander
_ By [C] _
Niagara _ [G] Falls
Or the [Bm] Prairie _ [Em] Ground _ _ _
Where nature is _ [G] seen
Both [C] majestic _ [G] and savage _
_ [Am] But their hearts [Bm] are at home
_ In their dear native [Em] _
land
_ _ _ [C] They long to [G] _ return
To [Am] the banks of [D] the Lennar
[Am] The Rowan and [Bm] its branches
_ [D] On every side
_ _ _ Where [Bm]
their lies breathe [Am] cooling
_ [D] But one [Am] _ [Bm] smitey chieftain
Who _ [Am] once against the [Bm] Saxon
_ Defended with [Em] pride _
_ Her _ _ [C] daughters are [G] fair
And her [A] sons they [Em]
are [Bm] gallant
They _ [C] scorn the [G] tyrant
_ [Bm] The serf or the [Em] _
smith
_ Their [C] rights they maintain
[G] _ _ At the point of [D] the [Bm] _ _ bayonet
[Am] With an arm [Em] that is strong
And a heart that is brave _ _ _
In [C] an abbey not [G] far _
From [Am] the toile of [C] Dungan _
Their spirit _ hovers [Em] over
_ [B] [Am] That once much [D] loved soil
_ _ _ [Em] Where their lies breathe [Bm] cooling
_ But [C] one _ smitey [Bm] _ chieftain
_ Who [Am] _
commanded of the [C] oar
_ From the band to [Em] the foil _ _ _
His _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [C] statue _ _
[G] _ _ disfigured
By [C] a _ Basilian [G] mongrel
_ His [Em] _ name often [D] heard
By _ unscrupulous [Em] _ _ foals
Yet [C] his soul _ shines [Em] in glory
_ Med choirs of angels
_ As [A] his body [Em] lies mould'ring
On the banks of [A] the _ _ [Em] Rhône _
Long may she prosper
_ Ne'er shall during _ _ mountains
Cairn to her ben broda
And surrounding hills
_ [C] _ From calamity [Bm] and famine
_ Great heaven defend [G] them
_ And grant them _ _ [Em] contentment
Ne'er clear [C] parley morrow _ _ _ _ _ _
