INTRO:
C F F F G C


VERSE 1:
C            F       C
It's been ten years and three since I first went to sea
      F        D      G
Since I've sailed from old Ireland and home
     C       F      C
But those hills lush and green were a part of my dream
    F       G     C
When I dreamed of my Colleen Malone

VERSE 2:
C        F      C
On the day I returned to my sorrow I learned
     F     D      G
That the angels had called her away
   C     F    C
To a grave on a hill overlooking the mill
      F         G     C
That's the place where she's sleeping today


CHORUS:
    G               F    C
As the soft breezes blow, through the meadow I go
     F       C      G
Past the mill with the moss covered stone
                  F       C
Up the pathway I climb, through the woods and the vines
  F     G     C
To be with my Colleen Malone


VERSE 3:
C           F    C
She was faithful each day as I sailed far away
     F     D      G
There was no one but me that she loved
    C      F       C
And I remember those eyes, soft and blue as the skies
    F      G     C
And her heart was as pure as a dove


CHORUS:
    G               F    C
As the soft breezes blow, through the meadow I go
     F       C      G
Past the mill with the moss covered stone
G                  F       C
Up the pathway I climb, through the woods and the vines
  F     G     C
To be with my Colleen Malone


INSTRUMENTAL:
C F C F D G C F C F G C


VERSE 4:
          F      C
All the years of my life I will not take a wife
    F      D    G
I will live in this valley alone
     C    F      C
Planting flowers around in the soft gentle ground
    F     G     C
That's holding my Colleen Malone


CHORUS:
    G               F    C
As the soft breezes blow, through the meadow I go
     F       C      G
Past the mill with the moss covered stone
G                  F       C
Up the pathway I climb, through the woods and the vines
  F     G     C
To be with my Colleen Malone
G                  F       C
Up the pathway I climb, through the woods and the vines
  F     G     C
To be with my Colleen Malone
