VERSE 1:
C majorC FF C majorC
It's been ten years and three since I first went to sea

Since I've sailed from old Ireland and home
C majorC FF C majorC
But those hills lush and green were a part of my dream
FF G+G C majorC
When I dreamed of my Colleen Malone
VERSE 2:
C majorC FF C majorC
On the day I returned to my sorrow I learned
FF D MajorD G+G
That the angels had called her away
C majorC FF C majorC
To a grave on a hill overlooking the mill
FF G+G C majorC
That's the place where she's sleeping today
CHORUS:
G+G FF C majorC
As the soft breezes blow, through the meadow I go
FF C majorC G+G
Past the mill with the moss covered stone
FF C majorC
Up the pathway I climb, through the woods and the vines
FF G+G C majorC
To be with my Colleen Malone
VERSE 3:

She was faithful each day as I sailed far away

And her heart was as pure as a dove

All the years of my life I will not take a wife

Planting flowers around in the soft gentle ground

That's holding my Colleen Malone
