Played with capo 4 like "The Best Kept Secret" version on Youtube [Intro] D D/C# G A (4X) [Verse 1]
In the Dlowlands of D/C#Creggan, there Bmlives a white hGare, As Dswift as the D/C#swallow that Bmflies through the Aair. You may Bmtramp the world over but none to comDpare To the Gpride of old DCreggan, that Bmbonnie white Ghare.
[Verse 2]
One Dclear autumn D/C#morning, as Bmyou will supGpose, Ohh DThe red golden D/C#sun o’er the Bmgreen mountain Arose. Barney BmConway came down and he did deDclare, “This Gday I’ll put an Dend to the Bmbonnie white Ghare.”
[Verse 3]
So he Dsearched through the D/C#lowlands and Bmdown through the Gglens, All aDmong the wild D/C#ditches where the Bmwhite hare had Aends, Till at Bmlast coming down over the heather so Dfair, From Gbehind the wild Dthistle out Bmjumps the white Ghare.
[Verse 4]
“Bang! Dbang!” went his D/C#guns and his Bmdogs he slipped Gtoo. As Dswift as the D/C#wind over the Bmgreen mountain Aflew. But his Bmdog soon came back, and it made Barney Dsigh, For he Gknew that the Dwhite hare had Bmbid him goodGbye.
D D/C# G A (2X) [Verse 5]
And we’re Dsome jolly D/C#sportsmen down Bmhere from PomeGroy From DCookstown, DunD/C#gannon, and Bmlikewise the AMoy. With our Bmpedigree greyhounds we’ve travelled from Dfar And we’ve Gcome down to DCreggan in our Bmfine motor Gcar.
[Verse 6]
Well Dinto the D/C#lowlands these Bmhuntsmen did Ggo In Dsearch of the D/C#white hare they'd Bmlook high and Alow, Till at Bmlast Barney Conway from a bog bank so Drare Shouted Gout to the Dhuntsmen, “There Bmlies the white Ghare.”
[Verse 7]
So they Dcalled up their D/C#greyhounds from Bmoff the green Glee And DBarney and the D/C#huntsmen all Bmjumped high with Aglee, it was Bmthere on the bog bank all gathered aDround, Seven Gdogs and nine Dmen did that Bmpoor hare surGround.
[Verse 8]
Oh no Dwonder the D/C#white hare did Bmtremble with Gfear As sheD stood on her D/C#hind legs, she would Bmraise her big Aears, As she Bmstood on her hind legs with one gallant Dspring, She jumped Gover the greyDhounds and Bmbroke through the Gring.
[Verse 9]
Well Dthat chase it went D/C#on, it was Bmbeautiful Gview As Dswift as the D/C#wind o’er the Bmgreen mountain Aflew. But Bmthose pedigree greyhounds, they didn’t run Dfar. They come Gback and went Dhome in their Bmfine motor Gcar.
[Verse 10]
Then Dthere came D/C#another man and you Bmall know him Gwell; His Dname was Mick D/C#Kelly with the BmBonnie Black ABelle. Oh in Bmsearch of the white hare, today “I’ll have Dfun. I'll bet Gfifty to Done my Black BmBelle will her Gturn.”
[Verse 11]
Five Dturns the hare D/C#got then from BmBonnie Black GBelle, And the Dsixth one was D/C#given around BmJohn Hardy’s Awell. It was Bmthere we lost sight of the hare and the Ddog, And then Gten minutes Dlater came Bmo’er the black Gbog.
[Verse 12]
Well, that Dchase it went D/C#on. It was Bmgreat for to Gsee. The Dwhite hare and the D/C#black dog both Bmroamed light and Afree, Till she Bmtravelled to Esker where she knew the lands Dwell, And to GBonnie Black DBelle at there Bmsoon bid fareGwell.
D D/C# G A (2X) [Verse 13]
Oh and Dnow to conD/C#clude and to Bmfinish this Grhyme I Dhope you’ll D/C#forgive me for Bmsinging all this Awhile. If there’s Bmany amongst you in Carrick more Dfair, Please Gdrink up a heDalth to that Bmbonnie white Ghare.
