Molly Bawn chords by Celtic Connection

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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

 fawn
    C             D                     G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds bright,like

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