[F#] I sat within a valley green Sat there with my true love
My heart strove to choose between Me old love and the new
Me old Berhul, the new that made Me think on Ireland dearly
While [Bm] soft the wind blew down the [F#] glade And shook the golden barley
It [Bm] was hard the mournful [F#] words to frame [Bm] To break the ties that [B] bound us
But hard as steel to bear [C#] the shame Of [E] foreign chains
You know So [B] I said the mountain glen
[Bm] I'll seek it morning [F#] early And join [F#] the brave united man
While [B] soft wind shook the barley [F#] It was sad I kissed on the way of [Bm] tears
Her arms [B] around me clinging When to my ears [F#] that fateful [Bm] shot
Came out of the wildwood reed Bullet pierced my true love's breast
In life's young spring sorrow And there upon [G] my breast
She lay [F#m] while soft [E] shook

I [Bm] bore her [B] to some mountain stream And marries [E] the sour [Bm] blossom
[Bm] I pleased her branches soft and green About her [F#] gore stained bosom
I wept and kissed her [Bm] clackled corpse The noshed of ailing [B] valley
[Bm] My vengeance [B] on the [Bm] fall to back While soft wind [B] shook the barley
Twas blood for blood [G] without remorse [Bm] I took that bull of the hollow
I placed my true love's clay-cold corpse Where mindful soup may follow
Round her grave I wandered me Noonlight and [F#m] morning early
With aching [B] heart when e'er [Bm] I hear The [B] wind that shakes the [Bm] barley
