Verse 1:


 G+G     A minorAm     C majorC       A minorAm
O Bonnie Portmore, I am sorry to have seen

   G+G     A minorAm        C majorC    G+G
Such woeful destruction of your ornament tree

    A minorAm      B minorBm     A minorAm      C majorC
For it stood on your shore for many's the long day

     A minorAm       B minorBm       A minorAm    D MajorD
Till the long boats from Antrim came to float it away

Verse 2:

O Bonnie Portmore, you shine where you stand

    G+G      A minorAm     C majorC      G+G
And the more I think on you, the more I think long

  A minorAm    B minorBm    A minorAm     C majorC
If I had you now, as I had once before

    A minorAm      B minorBm        A minorAm      D MajorD
All the lords in old England would not purchase Portmore



Verse 3:

    G+G      A minorAm       C majorC    A minorAm
All the birds in the forest, they do bitterly weep

     G+G       A minorAm     C majorC       G+G
Sighing, "Where shall we shelter, o where shall we sleep?"

    A minorAm     B minorBm      A minorAm   C majorC
For the oak and the ash, they are all cut down

    A minorAm       B minorBm        A minorAm     D MajorD
And the walls of Bonnie Portmore they are down to the ground



Verse 4:

G+G      A minorAm    C majorC        A minorAm
O Bonnie Portmore, you shine where you stand

    G+G      A minorAm     C majorC      G+G
And the more I think on you, the more I think long

  A minorAm    B minorBm    A minorAm     C majorC
If I had you now, as I had once before

    A minorAm      B minorBm        A minorAm      D MajorD
All the lords in old England would not purchase Portmore.
