Verse 1:
 E                              A
A stream like a crystal it runs down
     E             A
It's plainly to be seen
         E                           A
And it's there you'll find the Irish oak
E                B   E
Trimmed with the ivy green
          A                   E
Where the shamrock, rose, the thistle grow
    C#m  E      F#m
The lily too beside
      E                      A
There flourish all together, boys
C#m       B       A      B
Along the Faughan side

Verse 2:
     E                        A
It's just three miles from Derry
       C#m       E    A
To the bridge at Drumahoe
         E                           A
And it's there I've spent some happy days
       E       B    E
In the days of long ago
          A                  E
Where the lads do sport, the fair maids a-court
        C#m        Em     F#m
And the small fish gently glide
       E                                A
In the blooming Spring, the small birds sing
C#m       B       A      B
Along the Faughan side


Verse 3:
        E                         A
Well if you could see this lovely place
    C#m    E      A
All in the summertime
     E                              A
Each bush, each tree there looks so gay
     E      B      E
Each meadow in its prime
          A         B       E      B
Where the blackbird and the golden thrush
     C#m        G#       F# A
They tune their notes so gay
    E                     A
But still I have a notion of
C#m      B    E
Going to Amerikay

Verse 4:
        E                      A
Oh, the leaving of this lovely place
   E                     A
It grieves my heart full sore
        E                      A
But the leaving of my own true love
   E          B         E
It grieves me ten times more
       A      E
And if ever I return again
     C#m      E      F#m
It's her I'll make my bride
         E                       A
And I'll roll her in my arms, me boys
C#m       B       E       A    E    B
Along the Faughan side
         E                       A
And I'll roll her in my arms, me boys
C#m       B       E
Along the Faughan side
