Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

  G+G      C majorC    G+G       D MajorD
'Tis I am sad and lonely down in the distant
G+G
 west
  C majorC                G+G
The happy dreams of boyhood years at night
      D MajorD
 disturb my rest;
  C majorC
For it's in this weary heart of mine to
G+G           D MajorD
 forget it ne'er shall be,
   G+G         C majorC   G+G
Of the days I spent with Molly Bawn a-boating
D MajorD    G+G
 on Loch Ri.
         C majorC      G+G    D MajorD
She was young and beautiful,as gentle as the
G+G
 fawn
  C majorC       D MajorD           G+G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds bright,like

 stars at early dawn;
 C majorC                  G+G
A augmentedA smile she had for every lad but her love
       C majorC
 was all for me,
G+G          C majorC   G+G
When first I gazed on Molly Bawn a-boating
D MajorD    G+G
 on Loch Ri.
G+G           C majorC       G+G
And when she said she'd be my bride, how
   D MajorD    G+G
 happy then was I,
  C majorC
The pleasant dreams of boyhood years, how
G+G           D MajorD
 swiftly they've flown by;
  C majorC                  D MajorD
The heaven light shone in her eyes, she was
       G+G
 too good for me,
  G+G           C majorC    G+G
An angel claimed her for his own and took her
D MajorD    G+G
from Loch Ri.
          C majorC   G+G
Oh, I have lived the stormy life, my hair is
  D MajorD    G+G
 a silvery hue
 C majorC                 G+G
A augmentedA plaintive voice rings in my ear in tones I
      D MajorD
 can't sub- due,
 C majorC                  G+G
A augmentedA lovely form still lingers there and a face
      D MajorD
 I think I see;
  G+G         C majorC   G+G
Oh,that's the face of Molly Bawn a-boating
D MajorD    G+G
 on Loch Ri.
