Capo: 3

Maid of Culmore - traditional Irish, I believe, has been recorded by Cara Dillon, Celtic Thunder and the Bothy Band, among others I play this on capo 3 with a basic strumming pattern INTRO: Em D G D C

Leaving ^Emsweet lovely ^DDerry for ^Gfair^D London ^Ctown There is ^Emno finer h^Darbour all aro^Emund can be ^Bmfound Where the ^Emyoungsters each e^Dvening go d^Emown to the s^Bmhore And the ^Emsweet bells are r^Dinging for the ^Gmaid ^Dof Culm^Core

The f^Emirst time I s^Daw her, she p^Gasse^Dd me ^Cby And the n^Emext time I s^Daw her, she ^Embid me good^Bmbye And the ^Emlast time I s^Daw her, it ^Emgrieved my heart s^Bmore For she s^Emailed down Lough ^DFoyle,^G away ^Dfrom Culm^Core

If ^EmI had the ^Dpower the s^Gtorms f^Dor to ri^Cse I would ^Emmake the wind ^Dblow out and I'd ^Emdarken the s^Bmkies I'd m^Emake the wind b^Dlow high and the s^Emalt seas to r^Bmoar 'Til the d^Emay that my d^Darling sailed a^Gway fr^Dom Culmor^Ce

Instrumental, as verse

To the f^Emar parts of A^Dmerica, my l^Gove I'll ^Dgo s^Ceek For it's ^Emthere I know n^Do one and ^Emno one knows ^Bmme But ^Emif I don't fi^Dnd her, I'll retu^Emrn home no m^Bmore Like a ^Empilgrim I'll ^Dwander for the ^Gmaid ^Dof Culmor^Ce Like a ^Empilgrim I'll ^Dwander for the ^Gmaid ^Dof Culmor^Ce
