As I roved ^Gout one ^Amevening ^Gfair By the ^Cverdant braes of ^FSkreen I ^Cset my ^Gback to a ^Amhawthorn ^Gtree To ^Cview the ^Fsun in the ^Dm7West Coun^Gtry And the ^Cdew on the ^Gforest ^Cgreen

[Verse 2]

A lad I ^Gspied by ^AmAbhann's ^Gside And a ^Cmaiden on his ^Fknee And ^Che was as ^Gdark as the ^Amvery brown ^Gwood And ^Cshe all ^Fwhey and ^Amwan to ^Gsee All ^Cwhey and ^Gwan was ^Cshe

"Oh sit you ^Gdown on the ^Amgrass," he ^Gsaid "On the ^Cdewy grass so ^Fgreen For the ^Amwee birds ^Gall have ^Fcome and ^Ggone Since ^CI my ^Ftrue love have ^Amseen," he ^Gsaid "Since ^CI my ^Gtrue love have ^Cseen"
