[Gm] [Fm] [Gm] [Dm]

[Bb] [C] [Gm] [Dm]
[Gm] [F] [Gm] [Cm] [Gm]
Near Banbridge town in the [F] county [Gm] down One morning [Dm] last July
[Gm] Down a boring green came a [F] sweet [G] Colleen And she [Cm] smiled as she [Gm] passed me by
[Bb] She looked so [F] sweet from her two bar [Gm] feet To the sheen of her [Dm] nut brown hair
[Eb] That she [Gm] once a-melt by me [F] shimmed of me [Gm] self For to [Cm] see I was [Gm] staring there
[Bb] From Bantry [F] Bay up the Derry's [C] quay From Galway to [F] Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've [Gm] seen like [F] fair [G] Colleen Had I met in the county down
As she onwards [Gm] bid share I [F] scratched me [Gm] head And I looked with a [Dm] feeling rare
[Gm] And I says as I to a [F] passerby [Gm] Who's a [Cm] maid with a nut [Gm] brown hair
[Bb] Well he looked at me [F] and he said to me [Gm] This is Jim of [Dm] Ireland's crown
[Eb] Young Rosie [Gm] McCann on the banks of the ban She's the [Cm] star of the [Gm] county down
From Bantry [F] Bay up the Derry's [Gm] quay From [C] Galway to [F] Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've seen like fair [F] [G] Colleen Had I met in the county down
She'd [Gm] soft brown eyes with a look [F] so [Gm] shy And a [Eb] smile like the [Dm] rose in June
[Gm] And she thinks so sweet what a [F] lovely [Gm] treat As she [Cm] lilted an [Gm] Irish tune
[Bb] At the Lambeth [F] dance I was in the [Gm] tarant So she whirled with the [Dm] lads of the town
[Eb] And it broke me heart [Gm] just to [F] be apart [Gm] From the star [Cm] of the [Gm] county down
[Bb] From Bantry [F] Bay up the Derry's [Gm] quay From [C] Galway to [F] Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've [Bb] seen like fair [F] [G] Colleen Had I [Cm] met in the [Gm] county down
[Eb] [Dm] [Gm]
[F] [Gm] [Cm] [Gm] [Bb] [F]
[Gm] [Eb] [Dm] [Gm]
At the Harvest fair she'll be [F] surely [Gm] there So I'll dress in my [Dm] Sunday clothes
[Gm] With my shoes shone bright and my [F] hat crocked [Gm] right For a [Cm] smile from the [Gm] nut brown rose
[Bb] Though quite well [F] spoke no horse I'll [Gm] yoke To my plough as a [Dm] rust-coloured brown
[Eb] And a smiling [Bb] bride by my [F] own [Gm] fireside Says the [Cm] star of the [Gm] county down
From Bantry [F] Bay up the Derry's [G] quay From Galway to Dublin [Dm] town
[Eb] No maid I've [G] seen like [F] fair [G] Colleen Had I met in the county down
[Bb] From Bantry [F] Bay up the Derry's [Gm] quay From [C] Galway [F] to Dublin town
[Eb] No maid I've [Bb] seen like [F] fair [G] Colleen Had [Cm] I met in the [Gm] county down
[F] [Eb]
