[D] They went on and on down the road till they
came [A] to a stream.
[Dm] And they both [G] sat down together loud to [A] hear the [D] nightingale sing.
Then out of his knapsack he [A] drew a [D] fine fiddle, and he played her such merry tunes that you
ever [A] did hear.
[D] And he played her such merry tunes that the valleys [A] did ring.
[D] Ah, softly [A#] cried the fair [A] maid, hear the [D] nightingale sing.

I've come by Branigan's Corner [F#] one morrow night and stray.
[B] I met a fellow rebel and
