[Verse 1]
                       G
Come over the hills my bonny Irish lad
     D                      G   D
Come over the hills to your darling
G              D               Em   D        G
You choose the road, love, and I'll make the vow
    D                         A  D
And I'll be your true love forever__

[Chorus]
                        G
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
D           Bm          G  D
Fair is the lily of the valley
G            D          G     D        Em
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    D          G   D       A  D
But my love is fairer than any___

[Verse 2]
      G                         C
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
    G                            C   G
The moon and the stars they were shining
    C              G           C        G      Am
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
        G              C  G       D  G   C
And she swore she'd be my love forever__

[Bridge]
     G           Em           Am    G/B C
It's not for the parting that my sister pains
     G           Em          C D
It's not for the grief of my mother
     Em          G          C     G     Am
It's all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
     G           C    G      D G    C
That my heart is breaking forever__

[Chorus]
           G            Em            G
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
D           Bm          G  Am
Fair is the lily of the valley
G            D          G     D        Em
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    D          G   D       A  D
But my love is fairer than any___

G            D          G     D        Em
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    D          G   D       A  D
But my love is fairer than any___
