*The version in the movie has no guitar; he only plays a tradistional Irish drum called a bodhrán.
The transition from Am7 to Cm/Csus2 may seem out of key, but I couldn't find another way to catch 
the Eb note (4th fret on the B string) otherwise.

Lyrics & Chords:

Am   G      Cm/Csus2 Am7   
A gentleman was passing by
Cadd9                  Am7
He stopped for a drink as he got dry
       F*   Am7       E7
At the well below the valley-o
Am7             E7
Green grows the lily-o (bodhrán starts playing)
Am7         E7
Down in the bushes-o

Am     G        Cm/Csus2 Am7
Me cup was full up to the brim
Cadd9                Am7
If I were to stoop I might fall in
    F*   Am7       E7
the well below the valley-o
Am7             E7
Green grows the lily-o
Am7             E7
Right among the bushes-o

Am      G      Cm/Csus2   Am7
He said to her you're swearing wrong
Cadd9                 Am7
for six fine children you've had born
       F*   Am7       E7
At the well below the valley-o
Am7             E7
Green grows the lily-o
Am7             E7
Right among the bushes-o

Am        G     Cm/Csus2 Am7
If you be a man of noble 'steem
Cadd9             Am7
You'll tell to me what happened to them
       F*   Am7       E7
At the well below the valley-o
Am7             E7
Green grows the lily-o
Am7             E7
Right among the bushes-o

Am          G       Cm/Csus2 Am7
Two burried beneath the stable door
       F*   Am7       E7
At the well below the valley-o
Am7             E7
Green grows the lily-o
Am7             E7
Right among the bushes-o

       Am   G         Cm/Csus2  Am7
You'll be seven years a-ringing a bell
Cadd9               Am7
But the Lord above, he save me soul
Am7
From all this hell
       F*   Am7       E7
At the well below the valley-o
Am7             E7
Green grows the lily-o
Am7             E7
Right among the bushes-o

(bodhrán solo)
