Chords

[Intro] G C9 [Verse 1]
G              Em
The winter has passed

         C       Am7     D   D7
And the summer's come at last

D                    Am      Bm     D
The small birds are singing in the trees

      C                  G
Their little hearts are glad

         Am     Am7   D   D7
Ah, but mine is very sad

       G     Em     Am  Bm       D   D7
For my true love is far away from me
[Verse 2]
    G            Em
The ribbons I'll wear

          C    Am7    D   D7
And I'll comb back my hair

D               Am   Bm    D
In gallants of green I will appear

     C                 G
And straight I will go there

       Am     Am7  D    D7
To the Curragh of Kildare

         G          Em        Am      Bm    D    D7
For it's there that I'll find tidings of my dear
[Verse 3]
    G              Em
All you who are in love

           C   Am7  D    D7
Aye and cannot it remove

  D         Am      Bm  D
I pity the pain you do endure

     C                 G
For experience lets me know

       Am            Am7        D   D7
That your hearts are filled of woe

       G   Em     Am7     Bm      D    D7
It's a woe that no mortal man can cure
[Verse 4]
     G            Em
The rose upon the briar

        C       Am7      D   D7
And the water's running clear

D                 Am     Bm     D    D7
Brings joy to the linnet and the bee

       C                 G
Their little hearts are blessed

        Am      Am7    D    D7
And but mine is not at rest

      G     Em     Am  Bm       D   D7
For my true love is far away from me
[Verse 5]
    G              Em
Oh The winter has passed

         C       Am7     D   D7
And the summer's come at last

D                    Am      Bm     D
The small birds are singing in the trees

      C                  G
Their little hearts are glad

         Am     Am7   D   D7
Ah, but mine is very sad

       G     Em     Am  Bm       D   D7
For my true love is far away from me
