The Irish Rovers – Green Grows The Laurel (Guitar)

                 D              G
Oh, I once had a true love that I called my own

                   C           G        D
Now she's gone and left me and I'm all alone

G              D          G
She's gone and left me contented must be

           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me

                         C       G
And it's green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew

         C           G           D
Sorry am I love, I'm parted with you

G        C          G
Sorry am I love, contented must be

           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me

                  D           G
Oh, I pass by her window both early and late

                      C           G            D
But the look that she gsve me, it did my heart break

                  D             G
The look that she gave me would ten thousand kill

              C             D          G
She's found a new love, but I love her still

                         C       G
And it's green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew

         C           G           D
Sorry am I love, I'm parted with you

G        C          G
Sorry am I love, contented must be

           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me

              D         G
I wrote her a letter in grand rosy lines

                     C          G           D
But she sent back an answer all twisted and twines

       G              D               G
Sayin' keep your love letters, you're wastin' your time

             C             D             G
You write to your love and I'll write to mine

                         C       G
And it's green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew

         C           G           D
Sorry am I love, I'm parted with you

G        C          G
Sorry am I love, contented must be

           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me

                 D          G
Now I oftimes do wonder why women love men

              C          G         D
And I also do wonder why they love them

    G         D           G
For women are fearful and kind as you know

              C           D         G
And men are deceivers wherever they go

                         C       G
And it's green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew

         C           G           D
Sorry am I love, I'm parted with you

G        C          G
Sorry am I love, contented must be

           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me

                 D              G
Oh, I once had a true love that I called my own

                   C           G        D
Now she's gone and left me and I'm all alone

G              D          G
She's gone and left me contented must be

           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me

                         C       G
And it's green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew

         C           G           D
Sorry am I love, I'm parted with you

G        C          G
Sorry am I love, contented must be

           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me

                         C       G
And it's green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew

         C           G           D
Sorry am I love, I'm parted with you

G        C          G
Sorry am I love, contented must be

           C          D           G
She loves another far better than me
