_ Oh how lovely to be [C] on the shores of [G] Lough Ree, on a beauty [Em] in the _ [Am] midsummer's morning,
[D] _ _ [G] Looking over the lake [C] as the waters [G] do break, [C] by the hills in [D] the county [G] _ Roscommon.
_ _ I left from my home [C] in the town of [G] Athlone, on my way to [Em] the three [Am] jolly pigeons.
[D] _ _ [G] It was near _ Glassontown, [C] on the road I [G] sat down, [C] I looked over [D] the beautiful [G] _ _
shallows.
_ Lough Ree, oh Lough Ree, [C] where the three counties [G] meet, _ _ Longford, [Em] Westmeath and [Am] _ Roscommon.
[D] _ As [G] I strolled down her banks, [C] by the Feather [G] and Peat, [C] There the memories [Am] I've never [G] forgotten. _

[E] _ _ [A] Oh sad was the day [D] when I went [A] far away, To work [F#m] amongst timber [Bm] and concrete.
[E] _ I [A] must name me a man, [D] for to follow [A] life's span, [D] I forsook [Bm] the [E] dear place of [A] my homeland.
_ _ If God grants me grace, [D] I'll return to [A] the place, When the sunset [F#m] of life has [Bm] come o'er [E] me.
_ [A] Once again on these shores, [D] like a bird my [A] heart soars, [D] As I gaze down [E] the beauty [A] around _ me.
Lough Ree, oh Lough Ree, [D] where the three counties [A] meet, _ _ Longford, [F#m] Westmeath and [D] _ Roscommon.
[E] _ _ [A] As I strolled down her banks, [D] by the Feather [A] and Peat, [D] There the memories [E] I've never [A] forgotten. _
_ _ Lough Ree, oh Lough Ree, [D] where the three [A] counties meet, _ _ Longford, [F#m] Westmeath and [Bm] _ _
[E] Roscommon.
_ [A] As I strolled down her banks, [D] by the Feather [A] and Peat, [D] There the memories [E] I've never _ [D] forgotten.
