[Verse]
E              D       A
Is she not the village belle?
A              F#m    D       A
Is she not the reason Niagara fell?
D         E         A         F#m
She knows where you hide your shame
           D     E
but she'll never tell, Oh!
D         E         A         F#m
She knows where you hide your shame
            E     A
 but she'll never tell
 
[Verse]
   E              D       A
If all the locals passing by
A                     F#m
Give her gifts and do their best
   D         A
to catch her eye
D      E    A          F#m
Who am I to think that I could take
    D      E
her for my bride? Oh!
D      E     A         F#m
Who am I to think that I could take
     E      A
 her for my bride?
 
[Chorus]
            E
The village belle, the village belle
                A
Oh, the village belle

[Verse]
    E              D      A
Oh, Is she not the reason for
A                F#m
Which a thousand ships
    D                A
now lie on the ocean floor?
D      E          A
Turn a man on his brother
F#m   D        E
and a truce to war
      D      E          A
She'd turn a man on his brother
F#m   E        A
and a truce to war
 
[Verse]
     E               D      A
So I went to break into her heart
    A                        F#m
But when I got there someone else
    D          A
had picked the lock
D         E         A         F#m
Turned the whole place upside down
     D         E
 and then took off, Hey!
D         E         A         F#m
Turned the whole place upside down
     E          A
 and then took off
 
[Chorus]
            E
The village belle, the village belle
                F#m
Oh, the village belle

[Verse]
   E           D       A
So if I am not back by three
A                F#m
Carry on my dear friends
D                A
don't come after me
D      E    A
Heave away, steady on
F#m      D    E
over the open sea, Oh!
D      E    A
Heave away, steady on
F#m      E    A
over the open sea
 
[Verse]
E                D       A
She is still the village belle
A                F#m    D       A
She is still the reason Niagara fell
D         E         A         F#m
She knows where you hide your shame
            D     E
 but she'll never tell, Oh!
D         E         A         F#m
She knows where you hide your shame
            E     A
 but she'll never tell
 
[Chorus]
            E
The village belle, the village belle
                A
Oh, the village belle
            E
The village belle, the village belle
                A
Oh, the village belle
            E
The village belle, the village belle
                F#m
Oh, the village belle
