[G] [F]
[Bb]
[C] [F]
I sat within [Gm] the valley green, [F] I sat with my true love,
My sad heart had [Gm] to choose [F] between old Ireland or [Bb] my love.
[F]
I looked [Am] at her [Gm] and then [F] I thought, Oh Ireland [Bb] was torn,
[F] I saw the wind [Gm] blew down the [Bb] glen [F] and shook the golden cobb.
[Gm] [Bb]
[C] [Bb] [Gm] [F]
It was hard, though [Gm] hopeful, worst of grim, [C] to break [F] the ties that bound,
But harder still [Gm] to bear [F] the shame of English [Bb] chains around.
[Gm]
[F] And so I said, [Bb] the [F] mountain glen I'll seek at [Gm] any moment,
[C] [F] And joined the brave [Gm] United [Bb] men [C] while the soft [Bb] wind shook [F] the cobb.
[Gm] [Bb]
[C] [Gm] [F]
While sad I kissed [Gm] away her [Bb]
tears, my [C] fond [F] arms round her flung,
A pretty shot [Bb] burst on [F] my ears from out the [Bb] wild drum.
[D] [F] The bullet pierced [Bb] my true love's [F] side, a rose pierced by [Bb] a thorn,
[F] And in my arms [Gm] and blood she died while [C]
[F] soft wind shook the cobb.
So
[Bb] [C]
[Bb] [C] [F]
blood for blood [Gm] without remorse [C] I've [F] taken in the glen,
I've blessed my true [Bb] love's clay [F]-cold corpse, I've joined true [Bb] Irish men.
[Am] But [F]
round her grave [Bb] I [F] wandered reared, sometimes at [Bb] every morn,
And [Am] with breaking heart [B] [Gm] sometimes I [Bb] hear [Gm] the wind [F] that shakes the cobb.
