Flower of Sweet Strabane chords
Irish Traditional

Capo I

B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm

  B minorBm       A augmentedA                    B minorBm
If I were King of Ireland's Isle and had all things at my will
         A augmentedA               B minorBm
I'd roam for recreation and I'd seek for comfort still
          A augmentedA               B minorBm
The comfort I would ask for, so that you may understand
            A augmentedA                B minorBm
Is to win the heart of Martha, the Flower of Sweet Strabane

  B minorBm        A augmentedA              B minorBm
Her cheeks they are a ruby red, her hair a lovely brown
            A augmentedA               B minorBm
And o'er her milk white shoulders it carelessly hangs down
          A augmentedA                 B minorBm
She is the fairest creature and the pride of all her clan
           A augmentedA                B minorBm
And my heart is captivated by the flower of Sweet Strabane

   B minorBm        A augmentedA               B minorBm
Well I've been in the Phoenix Park and in Killarney fair
          A augmentedA                B minorBm
The lovely glens of Antrim and the winding banks of Clare
         A augmentedA            B minorBm
In all my earthly travels I never yet met one
              A augmentedA                  B minorBm
That could compare, I do declare, with the Flower of Sweet Strabane

  B minorBm       A augmentedA                 B minorBm
But since I cannot gain her love, no joy there is for me
          A augmentedA               B minorBm
And I must seek forgetfulness in lands across the sea
          A augmentedA               B minorBm
Unless she cares to follow me, I swear by my right hand
           A augmentedA                   B minorBm
McKenna's face you'll ne'er more see, my Flower of Sweet Strabane

    B minorBm        A augmentedA               B minorBm
So its farewell to sweet Derry Quay, New Mills and Waterside
            A augmentedA           B minorBm
I'll sail out o'er the ocean, whatever may betide
          A augmentedA               B minorBm
I'll sail away from Derry Quay out by the Isle of Man
             A augmentedA                B minorBm
And I'll bid farewell to Martha, the Flower of Sweet Strabane
