[F#m]
They sat [E] within [D] a valley [C#m] green
I [Bm] sat me
[C#m] with [D] my true love
My [A] heart it [E] drove me [D]
to [C#m] between
the [Bm] old love [C#m] and
the [F#m] new love
[Bm] the old for her the [A] new
That made me [F#m] think on [D] island [C#m] dearly
[F#m] While soft the [B] wind blew [D] down
the [E] glen and [Bm] shook [C#] the golden [F#m] barley
Was her [E] the [D] awful [C#m] worst frame
[Bm] to break [C#m] the ties [D] that bound us
[A] But harder [E] still [D] to [C#m] bear the shame
[A] [Bm] of foreign
[C#m]
[F#m] chains around us [Bm] and
so I said [A] the
Mountain Glen [F#m] I'd seek at [D] morning
[C#m] early
I
[F#m] Soft [Bm] the wind [D] blew down [E] the glen
[Bm] and shook [C#m] the Golden [F#m] Barley
Was sad [E] I kissed [D]
away [C#m] her tears
[Bm] My fond [A] arms found [D] her fleeing
[A] The old man [E] shot [D] first on our
[C#m] Warriors
[D] From [F#m] out the why?
The [Bm] bullet pierced [A] my true love sight [F#m] in life's young [D] spring [C#m] Soarly
[F#m] And on [Bm] my breast [D] in blood [E] she died
[Bm] While soft [C#m] wind show [D] the barley
[A] But
[E] [D] [C#m]
[Bm] [C#m] [F#m]
[Bm] [A]
[F#m] [D]
[C#m] [F#m]
[Bm] [D] [E]
[Bm] [C#m] [F#m]
blood [E] for blood [D]
without [C#m] remorse
[Bm] I've taken [C#m] a tool art [D] hollow
[A] And [E] laid my true [F#m] love's fake [C#m] over cars
When [D] I [C#m] [F#m] Follow
[Bm] As round the grave [A] I
Wandered real [F#m] tonight and [D] morning
[C#m] With breaking [B] heart [D] I
[E] [Bm] Screamed
The [C#m] [D] body
The [F#m] [Bm] [D]
[E]
[Bm] wind
[C#m] The ball
