[Bb]
[Eb] I sat within, and falling [Gb] [Eb] in, [F] Sat there with [Bb] my true love.
[Gb] My [Bbm] sad [Eb] heart strove to [Ebm] between The old [Bbm] love and I, [Eb] [Gb] the old for her,
The [Bb] new that made [Ebm] me think on [Bb] Ireland [Bb] [Ebm] dearly.
Soft the [Eb] wind blew down the [B] glade, And [Bb] shook the gold.

[Bb] [Ebm] [Bbm]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] Hard the mournful words to frame, [Gb] To break the [Bbm] ties that bound,
[Gb] [Bb] But harder still [Eb] to bear [B] the shame [Eb] Of foreign chains around us.
[Gb] So I set the [Bb] mountain plain, [Ebm] I was sick at [Bb] morning,
And I joined the [Eb] brave united [B] men.
[Bbm] While soft wind shook the [Ab] bark, [Ebm]
[Eb] [F] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Ab] [Ebm] Sad I kissed away her tears.
[Gb] Her arms [Bbm] around me clinging, [Gb] Went to my ears,
That [Ebm] fearful shot came out the [Eb] way.
The [Gb]
bullet pierced [F] my true love's heart, [Ebm] In [Gb] life's young spring [Bbm] so rare.
[Eb] [Gb]
There [Bbm] within [Ebm] my arms she [B] died, [Eb] While soft [Bb] wind shook [Ebm] the bark,
[Eb]
[Eb] [F]
[Eb] I bore her to some mountain stream.
[Ebm] In many's the [Bb] summer blossom I [Gb] placed, With branches soft and green,
[B] About her [Eb] ghosting.
[Ebm] I whipped and [Bb] kissed her cuckoo [Ebm] corpse, Then rushed [Gb] o'er [Bbm] vale and valley,
[Gb] My vengeance [Bbm] on [Eb] the foe to [B] wreak, While soft [Bbm] wind shook.

[Ab] [Ebm] [Gb]
[Eb] [Abm] [Bb]
[Eb] Blood for blood, [B] without
[Eb] remorse, [Gb] I took a taller [Bb] tongue,
[Bbm] [Gb] Placed my true [Ebm] love's clay-coved corpse, Where my [Bb] filth [Eb] soon.
[Ebm] [F]
Around her grave I wandered [Bb] drear, Noon [Ebm] nights and morning [Bb] early,
[Eb] [B] A aching heart [Eb] whenever I [B]
[Ebm] hear, The wind that [B] [Ebm] shakes the bark.
