Tom: D
A7 D Bm D G
Tá mo chleamhnas déanta ó athrú aréir
D Bm D G
S'ní mó ná go dtaithníonn an bhean liom féin
D Bm
Ach fágfaidh mé i mo dhiaidh í
D G
'gus imeoidh mé liom féin
D Bm A7 D
Ar fud na gcoillte craobhach
D Bm D G
My match it was made here last night
D Bm D G
To a girl I neither love nor like
D Bm
But I'll take my own advice
D G
And leave her behind
D Bm A7 D
And go roaming the wild woods all over
[Verse 2]
D Bm D G
Shiúil mise thoir agus shiúil mise thiar
D Bm D G
Shiúil mise Corcaigh 'gus sráide Bh'l'áth Cliath
D Bm D G
Ach sámhail de mo chailin deas ni fhaca mise riamh
D Bm A7 E
'Si an bhean dubh a dhfhág mo chroí cráite
E C#- E A
I walked up and I walked down
E C#- E A
I walked Cork, and Dublin, and Belfast towns
E C#- E A
But no equal to my true love could I find
E C#- B E
She's the wee lass that's left my heart broken
[Verse 3]
E C#- E A
D'éirigh mé ar maidin dhá uair roimh an lá
E C#- E A
'gus fuair mé litir ó mó mhile ghrá
E C#- E A
Chuala mé an smóilin 's an londubh á rá
E C#- B E
Gur ealiagh mo ghrá thar sáile
E C#- E A
I got up two hours before day
E C#- E A
And I got a letter from my true love
E C#- E A
I heard the blackbird and linnet say
E C#- B E
That my love had crossed the ocean
