[Verse]
Em G
When I was a boy, on the banks of the Moy,
C D
I went fishing one fine summer’s day
Em G
Down the patchy that strolled my heart took a roll
C D
Seemed to pour past that way
Am C D
It was there, she sat down and we talked for a while
Am C D
It was there I surrendered my heart to a smile
Em G
She had eyes of the purest kind
C D
And lips I longed for all the time
Bm C D
But her cruel father tore us Both apart
Em G
She could smile, put the sun to shame
C D
Still in my dreams I call her name
Bm C D G
Lost time has failed to take her from my heart
[Interlude]
Bm C D G Bm C D G
[Verse]
Em G
Her family had money, but her father had gambled
C D
Most of his fortune away
Em G
He arranged her to marry an old gentleman
C D
But my love she couldn’t betray
Am C D
And to where we first met brooked hearted she stroll
Am C D
In the Moy she surrendered her body and soul
Em G
She had eyes of the purest kind
C D
And lips I longed for all the time
Bm C D
But her cruel father tore us Both apart
Em G
She could smile, put the sun to shame
C D
Still in my dreams I call her name
Bm C D G
Lost time has failed to take her from my heart
[Interlude]

[Verse]
Out
Em G
On the banks of the Moy where I Once stood a boy
C D
A lonely old man now I did stray
Em G
Many years have gone by, but there’s not one that I
C D
Didn’t long to return to that day
Am C D
In the pool by the banks of the Moy there’s a swan,
Am C D
And they say that she talks to a lonely old man
Em G
She had eyes of the purest kind
C D
And lips I longed for all the time
Bm C D
But her cruel father tore us Both apart
Em G
She could smile, put the sun to shame
C D
Still in my dreams I call her name
Bm C D G
Lost time has failed to take her from my heart
