[Intro] G D Em D Em C D Em D Em [Verse 1]
     Em                     G      D
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down

    Em           D
One morning in July

      Em                   G        D
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet Cailín

        Em           D         Em
And she smiled as she passed me by.

    G                      D
She looked so sweet in her two bare feet

      Em                    D
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair.

      Em
Such a coaxing elf

        G      D
I'd to shake myself

        Em         D        Em
To make sure I was standing there.
[Chorus]
     G                D
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

         Em               D
And from Galway to Dublin town.

   Em                      C         D
No maid I’ve seen like the sweet Cailín

       Em         D      Em
That I met in the County Down.

      G                D
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay

         Em               D
And from Galway to Dublin town.

   Em                      C         D
No maid I’ve seen like the sweet Cailín

       Em         D      Em
That I met in the County Down.
[Verse 2]
       Em                   G      D
At the harvest fair I'll be surely there

         Em              D
And I’ll dress my Sunday clothes

         Em                        G      D
And I'll try sheep's eyes and deludhering lies

       Em           D         Em
On the heart of the nut-brown Rose.

   G                   D
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke

           Em                               D
Though the plough with the rust in my turns brown

       Em                  G       D
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside

         Em          D      Em
Sits the star of the County Down
[Chorus]
     G                D
