Sinéad O’Connor - The Moorlough Shore: chords

      Am                   G
Your hills and dales and flowery vales
      F           Dm         Am
That lie near the Moorlough Shore
      Am                 G
Your vines that blow by borden's grove
       F    Dm      Am
Will I ever see no more
Em          Am
Where the primrose blows
         G
And the violet grows
           Am        G      F
Where the trout and salmon play
         Am       D       G       Em
With my line and hook, delight I took
     F       Dm       Am
To spend my youthful days

Last night I went to see my love
And to hear what she might say
To see if she'd take pity on me
Lest I might go away
She said, "I love that Irish lad
And he was my only joy
And ever since I saw his face
I've loved that soldier boy."

Perhaps your soldier lad is lost
Sailing over the sea of Maine
Or perhaps he is gone with some other lover
You may never see him again
Well if my Irish lad is lost
He's the one I do adore
And seven years I will wait for him
By the banks of the Moorlough Shore

Farewell to Sinclaire's castle grand
Farewell to the foggy hill
Where the linen waves like bleach-ed silk
And the banching stream runs still
Near there I spent my youthful days
But alas they are not now mine
For cruelty has banished me
Far away from the Moorlough Shore
