I sat within a [Am] valley, I sat me with my true love,
[Dm]
My sad heart it was torn between, The old love and the new love,
The old for her, the new [F#m] that made me, Think [N] on Ireland dearly,
While soft the wind blew, And it showed the gold,
It was hard for me those words [Am] to frame, To break the ties that bound us,
And harder still to bear the shame, [E] Of foreign chains around us,
And so I said [N] the mountain blend, I shall seek it morning air,
To join the brave [A] united, [G] Where soft wind shakes the barley,
I kissed away my true love's tears, My fond arms round her flinging,
When a foe man's shot burst on [A] her ear, [N] From out the wild wood,
The bullet pierced my true love's side, In life's young spring so early,
And there she died upon my grave, While soft wind showed,
And blood for blood without remorse, I again the door lands hollow,
And let [Bm] my true love's clay go, Where I fall soon,
[N] And over her grave I wander dear, No night and morning,
With a breaking heart, When air I,
The wind that shakes the barley,
[Dm]
My sad heart it was torn between, The old love and the new love,
The old for her, the new [F#m] that made me, Think [N] on Ireland dearly,
While soft the wind blew, And it showed the gold,
It was hard for me those words [Am] to frame, To break the ties that bound us,
And harder still to bear the shame, [E] Of foreign chains around us,
And so I said [N] the mountain blend, I shall seek it morning air,
To join the brave [A] united, [G] Where soft wind shakes the barley,
I kissed away my true love's tears, My fond arms round her flinging,
When a foe man's shot burst on [A] her ear, [N] From out the wild wood,
The bullet pierced my true love's side, In life's young spring so early,
And there she died upon my grave, While soft wind showed,
And blood for blood without remorse, I again the door lands hollow,
And let [Bm] my true love's clay go, Where I fall soon,
[N] And over her grave I wander dear, No night and morning,
With a breaking heart, When air I,
The wind that shakes the barley,
