[Dbm]
[F] [B]
[G] It was down by [E] the Glenside I [Eb] met [C] an old woman
A-pickin' [Bb] young nettles and she ne'er [Eb] saw me comin'
[Bb] I listened a while to the song she was [Ab] hummin'
[Bbm] Glorio, [Eb]
glorio to the [Bb]
[Ab] [Bbm] Bolthinian men
[Db] [Bbm]
[Ab] [Bb]
It's [Bbm] fifty long years [Db] since I saw [Bbm] the moon beamin'
On strong manly forms [Db] and eyes with [Bbm] hope gleamin'
I'll see them again [Db] in all my [Ab] sad dreamin'
[Bbm] Glorio, glorio to the [G] [Bb] Bolthinian men
[Bbm]
[Db] [Bbm]
[Db] [Bbm]
[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Db] [Bbm]
[Fm] [Bb]
When I was a young [Db] girl they're [Bbm] marchin' and drillin'
I awoke in the Glenside, [Db] songs awesome and [Bbm] thrillin'
They loved dear old Ireland [Db] and to die there [Ab] were willin'
[Bbm]
Glorio, [Db] glorio to the [F] [Bbm] Bolthinian men
Some died by the Glenside, [Db] some [Bbm] died mere the stranger
And wise men have told [Db] us their cause [Bbm] was a failure
They loved dear old Ireland, [Db] they never [F] feared danger
[Bbm] Glorio, [Db] glorio [Bb] to the Bolthinian men
I [Bbm] went on my way, [Db] I'd be praised that [Bb] I met her
Be life long or short, [Db] sure I'll never [Bbm] forget her
We may have good men, [Db] but we never [Ab] had better
[Bbm] Glorio, [Db] glorio [Bb] to the Bolthinian [Bbm] men
[Db] [Bbm]
[Ab] [Bbm]
