Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
    C majorC       G+G        C majorC     C majorC
Oh, as I went out one morning, it was early as I strayed,
    C majorC        G+G           C majorC         G+G
And it being all in the month of May, when the birds sang in the shade,
    C majorC     G+G        C majorC          G+G
And the sun smiled melodiously then following close with pride
     C majorC         G+G      C majorC         C majorC
Were the primroses and the daises from around Blackwater side.


Verse 2:
   C majorC       G+G        C majorC         C majorC
Well I went on but half a mile when there I chanced to spy
  C majorC       G+G       C majorC         G+G
Two lovers talking as they walked down by Blackwater side.
  C majorC       G+G         C majorC        G+G
And as he held her in his arms, these words to him she said,
  C majorC        G+G           C majorC      C majorC
“Oh stay at home and Do not raom from your lovely Irish maid.”

Verse 3:
   C majorC        G+G       C majorC          C majorC
“For, when you are in America, those Yankee girls you’ll find,
  C majorC            G+G        C majorC        G+G
And you’ll have sweethearts of your own more pleasing to your eye.
  C majorC          G+G      C majorC       G+G
And you'll forget those promises and vows to me you made,
  C majorC        G+G           C majorC      C majorC
So stay at home and Do not roam from your lovely Irish maid.”


Verse 4:
  C majorC      G+G       C majorC         C majorC
“Oh when I'm in America, those Yankee girls I’ll surely find,
  C majorC          G+G       C majorC          G+G
But they have to be more charming than the one that I left behind,
      C majorC        G+G        C majorC        G+G
For there’s not a flower in yonder bower or bloom in yonder glade,
   C majorC       G+G        C majorC      C majorC
That can remind me, love, of you, me lovely Irish maid.”


Verse 5:
     C majorC       G+G          C majorC         C majorC
“Oh, it's many a foolish man,” said she, “has left for a foreign shore,
  C majorC          G+G        C majorC       G+G
And leaving his own true love behind, perhaps to see no more.
      C majorC        G+G       C majorC             G+G
But in the crossing of the Atlantic foam sometimes their graves are made,
  C majorC        G+G           C majorC      C majorC
So stay at home, and Do not roam, from your lovely Irish maid.”

Verse 6:
     C majorC        G+G         C majorC     C majorC
Oh, like two fond hearts together well this couple did embrace,
   C majorC        G+G         C majorC          G+G
Like cherry blossums on the flower the tears fell from her face,
       C majorC       G+G           C majorC        G+G
“And, there’s not a day when you’re away that I'll visit still this place
  C majorC      G+G           C majorC      C majorC
So stay at home with me now, I'm your lovely Irish maid.”


Verse 7:
    C majorC       G+G        C majorC     C majorC
Oh, as I roved out one morning, it was early as I strayed,
    C majorC        G+G           C majorC         G+G
And it being all in the month of May, when the birds sang in the shade,
     C majorC     G+G        C majorC          G+G
When the sun smiled melodiously then following close with pride
     C majorC         G+G      C majorC         C majorC
Were the primroses and the daises from around Blackwater side.
     C majorC         G+G      C majorC         C majorC
Were the primroses and the daises from around Blackwater side.
