Chords

[Verse 1]
Em     Am                  G
  Your hills and dales and flowery vales

     F            D         Am
That lie near the Moorlough Shore

Em     Am                 G
  Your vines that blow by borden's grove

       F    D      Am
Will I ever see no more

Em         Am
 Where the primrose blows

       G
And the violet grows

          Am        G      F
Where the trout and salmon play

Em        Am       D        G      Em
  With my line and hook, delight I took

   F        D        Am
To spend my youthful days
[Verse 2]
Em   Am               G
 Last night I went to see my love

       F         D         Am
And to hear what she might say

Em   Am                G
  To see if she'd take pity on me

     F       D   Am
Lest I might go away

Em    Am               G
  She said, "I love an Irish lad

       Am     G    F
And he was my only joy

Em    Am   D       G       Em
  And ever since I saw his face

     F          D       Am     Em  Am
I've loved that soldier boy."
[Verse 3]
Em   Am                G
  Perhaps your soldier lad is lost

        F        D      Am
Sailing over the sea of Maine

Em      Am                        G
  Or perhaps he is gone with some other lover

        F     D        Am
You may never see him again

Em     Am          G
  Well if my Irish lad is lost

         Am    G   F
He's the one I do adore

Em    Am    D            G        Em
  And seven years I will wait for him

       F                      D
By the banks of the Moorlough Shore
[Instrumental] Em F D Em F D [Verse 4]
    Am                  G
Farewell to Sinclaire's castle grand

    F           D     Am
Farewell to the foggy dew

Em          Am               G
  Where the linen waves like bleaching silk

        F       D           Am
And the falling stream runs still

Em     Am               G
  Near there I spent my youthful days

     Am       G       F
But alas they all are gone

Em    Am   D      G        Em
  For cruelty has banished me

     F                      D
Far away from the Moorlough Shore
Am
