Verse 1:
    E minorEm       D MajorD   G+G   D MajorD    E minorEm      D MajorD
Near to Banbridge town in the county down one morning in July
    E minorEm      D MajorD   G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm          D MajorD E minorEm
down a boreen green came a sweet colleen and she smiled as she passed me by.
    G+G            D MajorD           E minorEm          D MajorD
Oh she looked so neat from her two white feet to the sheen of her nutbrown hair,
     E minorEm     D MajorD   G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm       D MajorD  E minorEm
sure the coaxing elf I'd to shake myself to make sure I was standing there.


    G+G        D MajorD          E minorEm        D MajorD
Oh from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quai and from Galway to Dublin town
  E minorEm       D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm       D MajorD E minorEm
no maid I've seen like this brown colleen that I met in the county down.

As she onward sped I shook my head and I gazed with a feeling quare,
   E minorEm      D MajorD  G+G   D MajorD       E minorEm        D MajorD   E minorEm
and I said, yes I, to a passer by: "Who's the maid with the nutbrown hair?"
   G+G           D MajorD               E minorEm        D MajorD
Oh he smiled at me and with proud he says he: "That's the gem of Ireland's crown.
      E minorEm      D MajorD    G+G      D MajorD        E minorEm       D MajorD E minorEm
She's young Rose Mc Cann from the Banks of the Benn, she's the star of the county down."

At the cross roads fair I'll be surely there and I'll dress in my sunday clothes.
     E minorEm        D MajorD   G+G    D MajorD      E minorEm       D MajorD   E minorEm
And I'll try sheep's eyes and deludering lies on the heart of the nutbrown rose.
  G+G           D MajorD             E minorEm            D MajorD
No pipe I'll smoke and no horse I'll yoke though my plough in the rust turns brown.
    E minorEm         G+G    D MajorD       E minorEm       D MajorD E minorEm
'till a smiling bride by my own fireside sits the star of the county down.
