Chords with lyrics

Key: E MajorE


Verse 1:
A augmentedA                E MajorE       A augmentedA
My young life has passed and it makes me feel lonely
A augmentedA    D MajorD     E MajorE       D MajorD      A augmentedA
I now look back with pride from the wilds of the prairie
  A augmentedA   D MajorD    E MajorE    D MajorD        A augmentedA    A/EA/E
To watch the red man, the panther and the beaver
A augmentedA              E MajorE      A augmentedA    A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
but my thoughts wander back to the bogs of Shanaheever


Verse 2:
A augmentedA            E MajorE      A augmentedA
Day night or noon in my absence get ready
A augmentedA   D MajorD   E MajorE     D MajorD      A augmentedA
by the light of the moon I’ll meet Master Freddie
A augmentedA  D MajorD   E MajorE      D MajorD     A augmentedA
to him to prepare and be ready for tomorrow
A augmentedA      A augmentedA        E MajorE      A augmentedA    A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
so it’s my last day coursing on the bogs of Shanaheever.

Verse 3:
  A augmentedA           E MajorE     A augmentedA
In London for years was a boasting O’Donnell
A augmentedA   D MajorD   E MajorE       D MajorD     A augmentedA
young Willie their used to boast of Dianna
A augmentedA    D MajorD    E MajorE    D MajorD      A augmentedA
but the truth to you I’ll tell
Dianna was the favourite
  A augmentedA        A augmentedA      E MajorE      A augmentedA    A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
and Victor took the sway on the bogs of Shanaheever.


Verse 4:
     A augmentedA               E MajorE       A augmentedA
From the shores of Lough Annagh to the plains of Killbricken
A augmentedA     D MajorD  E MajorE   D MajorD         A augmentedA
beneath the red sun my poor old heart was ticking
    A augmentedA  D MajorD   E MajorE     D MajorD        A augmentedA
We had made Lethargy for the land that didn’t favour
   A augmentedA             E MajorE      A augmentedA    A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
so we crossed over plains to the bogs of Shanaheever


Verse 5:
  A augmentedA            E MajorE       A augmentedA
The ground it was course and Bruce was long winded
A augmentedA   D MajorD  E MajorE       D MajorD        A augmentedA
for years every bound but the running it was splendid
  A augmentedA    D MajorD  E MajorE     D MajorD        A augmentedA
The two year old dog he was canny quick and clever
     A augmentedA            E MajorE       A augmentedA   A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
but the next sight we saw was his death in Shanaheevar


Verse 6:
  A augmentedA          E MajorE         A augmentedA
The night Victor died my coursing days were over
A augmentedA  D MajorD    E MajorE      D MajorD      A augmentedA
I sat down and cried like a heart broken lover
      A augmentedA    D MajorD  E MajorE      D MajorD        A augmentedA
We brought Victor to his grave and we laid him down forever
A augmentedA              E MajorE      A augmentedA   A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
I paid my passage to New York from the bogs of Shanaheever


Verse 7:
A augmentedA        E MajorE        A augmentedA
Ireland my love fare the well forever
A augmentedA D MajorD    E MajorE    D MajorD       A augmentedA
there is no place on earth I adore with such fervour
A augmentedA D MajorD    E MajorE       D MajorD       A augmentedA
and when Ireland is free I’ll come back again to see her
   A augmentedA              E MajorE   D MajorD  A augmentedA
But I play a tune forever to the bogs of Shanaheever.
