[Verse 1]
Em Bm I sat within the valley green sat there with my true love Em Bm C Bm Em And my fond heart strove to choose between the old love and the new love Em G Bm Em The old for her the new that made me think on Ireland dearly Em G Bm Em Bm Em While soft the wind blew down the glade and shook the golden barley
[Verse 2]
Em Bm Twas hard for mournful words to frame to break the ties that bound us Em Bm C Bm Em Ah but harder still to bear the shame of foreign chains around us Em G Bm Em And so I said the mountain glen I'll seek at morning early Em G Bm Em Bm Em And join the brave united men while soft winds shook the barley
[Verse 3]
Em Bm Twas sad I kissed away her tears her arms around me clinging Em Bm C Bm Em When to my ears that fateful shot came out the wild wood ringing Em G Bm Em The bullet pierced my true love's breast in life's young spring so early Em G Bm Em Bm Em And there upon my breast she died while soft winds shook the barley
[Verse 4]
Em Bm I bore her to some mountain stream and many's the summer blossom Em Bm C Bm Em I placed with branches soft and green about her gore-stained bosom Em G Bm Em I wept and kissed her clay-cold corpse then rushed o'er vale and valley Em G Bm Em Bm Em My vengeance on the foe to wreak while soft winds shook the barley
[Verse 5]
Em Bm And it's blood for blood without remorse I've took in Oulart Hollow Em Bm C Bm Em While to her grave my love's cold corpse where I full soon may follow Em G Bm Em Around her grave I wander drear noon night and morning early Em G Bm Em Bm Em With breaking heart whene'er I hear the wind that shakes the barley
