Chords for The Star Of The County Down + On Screen Lyrics --- Jim McCann

_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
Near Bambridge town in the county down one morning last [Gm] July
[Cm] Down a boring green came [Eb] a sweet [Bb] Colleen and [Cm] she smiled as [Bb] she passed me [Cm] by
She [Eb] looked so sweet from her two bare [Cm] feet as she knocked her nut brown [Gm] hair
Such a [Cm] cold teen help sure I [Bb] shook meself [Cm] to make [Fm] sure she was [Cm] really there
[Eb] From Bantry [Bb] Bay up to Terry Cave [Cm] from Galway to Dublin [Gm] town
[Cm] No maid I've seen like the brown [Bb] Colleen [Cm] that I met [Fm] in the county [Cm] down _
As she onwards sped sure I scratched me head and I looked with a feeling rare
And I says as [Eb] I drew a [Bb] passerby [Cm] who's the [Bb] maid with the [Cm] nut brown hair
[Eb] He smiled at [Bb] me and he says as he [Cm] does the jam of [Gm] Ireland's crown
[Cm] Young Rosie McCann [Eb] from the banks [Bb] of the [Cm] Banshees the star [Fm] of the county [Cm] down
[Eb] From Bantry Bay up [Bb] to Terry Cave from [Cm] Galway to Dublin [Gm] town
No maid I've seen like the [Bb] brown [Cm] Colleen that I [Bb] met in the [Cm] county down
At the harvest fair she'll be surely there so I'll dress in my [Gm] Sunday clothes
[Cm] With me shoes shone bright [Eb] and me hat [Bb] coxed right [Cm] for a smile from me nut brown rose
[Eb] No pipe I'll smoke [Bb] no horse I'll yoke till [Cm] me plough is a rust coloured brown
Till the smiling [Eb] bride by [Bb] me home [Cm] foreside is the [Bb] star of the [Cm] county down
From [Eb] Bantry Bay up to Terry Cave from Galway to [Gm] Dublin town
[Cm] No maid I've seen [Eb] like the brown [Bb] Colleen [Cm] that I [Fm] met in the [Cm] county down
[Eb] From Bantry Bay [Bb] up to Terry Cave [Cm] from Galway to Dublin [Gm] town
[Cm] No maid I've seen like [Eb] the brown [Cm] Colleen that [Fm] I met in [Cm] the county down
