Am  G  C/G  F


[Verse 1]
        Am           G         C/G         F
Leaving sweet lovely Derry for fair London town
         C/G G Am  F  G         Am           Em
There is no  finer harbour all around can be found
          C/G  G     Am   F  G       Am          Em
Where the youngsters each evening go down to the shore
        Am            G               C/G         F
And the joy bells are ringing for the maid of Coolmore


[Verse 2]
    Am           G            C/G       F
The first time I saw her, she passed me by
        C/G  G    Am F  G        Am         Em
And the next time I saw her, she bid me goodbye
        C/G  G    Am F  G       Am               Em
And the last time I saw her, it grieved my heart sore
        Am            G         C/G          F
For she sailed out of Ireland, away from Coolmore


[Verse 3]
   Am        G         C/G           F
If I had the power the storms for to rise
        C/G  G   Am   F    G           Am         Em
I would make the wind blow out and I'd darken the skies
    C/G  G   Am   F    G            Am           Em
I'd make the wind blow high and the salt seas to roar
         Am          G               C/G          F
'Til the day that my darling sailed away from Coolmore


[Instrumental]
Am   G   C/G  F   C/G G Am F G   Am   Em   Am   G   C/G  F


[Verse 4]
       Am            G          C/G          F
To the far parts of America, my love I'll go seek
         C/G   G Am   F  G       Am           Em
For it's there I know no one and no one knows me
    C/G G Am    F    G           Am           Em
But if  I don't find her, I'll return home no more
          Am        G              C/G         F
Like a pilgrim I'll wander for the maid of Coolmore
       Am           G              C/G         F
Like a pilgrim I'll wander for the maid of Coolmore
