Verse:
G                       C              G            Em
It’s been ten years and three since I first went to sea
 C                     A           D
And I sailed from old Ireland and home
           G             C            G          Em
And those hills lush and green were a part of my dreams
 C                D           G
When I dreamed of my Colleen Malone
       G      C            G        Em
On the day I returned to my sorrow I learned
        C            A         D
That the angels had called her away
     G          C        G            Em
To a grave on a hill overlooking the mill
       C            D       G
That’s where she’s sleeping today

Chorus:
       D                             C      G
As the soft breezes blow through the meadow I go
         C             G            D
Past the mill with the moss covered stone
         D                      C                 G
Up the pathway I climb through the woods and the pines
   C         D       G
To be with my Colleen Malone

Verse:
         C           G                    Em
She was faithful each day as I sailed far away
         C           A          D7
There was no one but me that she loved
     G            C          G            Em
I remember those eyes soft and blue as the skies
       C           D        G
And her heart was as pure as a dove

Chorus:
        G            C        G          Em
All the days of my life I will not take a wife
     C             A      D
I will live in this valley alone
         G         C          G          Em
Planting flowers around in the soft gentle ground
        C         D     G
That is holding my Colleen Malone

Chorus:
        G            C        G          Em
All the days of my life I will not take a wife
     C             A      D
I will live in this valley alone
         G         C          G          Em
Planting flowers around in the soft gentle ground
        C         D     G
That is holding my Colleen Malone
