[Intro]
Em  C  G  D  C   Bm  Em  C  G  D  Em
G   D   C   Bm   C   G  D  Em  D  Em

[Verse]
          C           G      D
Banbridge Town in the County Down
    C                 Bm
One morning of last July
       Em     C            G        D
From a boreen green came a sweet colleen
        C                       Em
And she smiled as she passed me by

[Verse]
    G                         D
She looked so sweet, from her two bare feet
       C                      Bm
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
       Em           C      G       C
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
       Em        D      Em
For to see I was really there

[Chorus]
     G               D
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
     C                Bm
From Galway to Dublin Town
   Em        C              G       D
No maid I've seen, like the fair colleen
       C          D      Em
That I met in the County Down

[Instrumental]
Em   C  G  D  Em  D  Em

[Verse]
              C            G            D
As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head
      C                     Bm
And I looked with a feelin' rare
      Em         C       G      D
And I says, says I, to a passer-by
           C             D         Em
"Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?

[Verse]
   G                   D
He smiled at me and he says, says he
            C                Bm
"That's the gem of Ireland's crown
      Em      C             G            C
Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
          Em          D      Em
She's the star of the County Down"

[Chorus]
     G               D
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
     C                Bm
From Galway to Dublin Town
   Em        C              G       D
No maid I've seen, like the fair colleen
       C          D      Em
That I met in the County Down

[Instrumental]
Em  C  G  D  C  Bm

G   D   C   Bm
Em  C  G  D  C  D  Em

[Verse]
            C               G      D
The Harvest Fair, she'll be surely there
         C                  Bm
And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes
        Em          C             G          D
With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right
      C             D         Em
For a smile from my nut brown rose

[Verse]
   G                   D
No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke
        C                          Bm
Till my plough turns rust coloured brown
        Em      C            G       D
Till my smiling bride, by my own fireside
         Em          D      Em
Sits the star of the County Down

[Chorus]
     G               D
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
     C                Bm
From Galway to Dublin Town
   Em        C              G       D
No maid I've seen, like the fair colleen
       C          D      Em
That I met in the County Down

[Chorus]
     G               D
From Bantry Bay into Derry Quay
     C                Bm
From Galway to Dublin Town
   Em        C              G       D
No maid I've seen, like the fair colleen
       C          D      Em
That I met in the County Down

[Outro]
