Tom : Dm
Dm Am Bb G C G
One pleasant summer's morning, when all the flowers were springing O
Bb Am G C Dm
Nature was adorning and the wee birds sweetly singing O
F C Dm Am
I met my love near Banbridge Town, my charming blue-eyed Sally O
Bb Am G Am Bb C
She's the queen of the County Down, the flower of Magherally O
[Verse 2]
Dm Am Bb Dm F G Bb
With admiration I did gaze upon this blue-eyed maiden O
Dm C Bb Dm F G F Dm C
Adam wasn't half so much pleased when he met Eve in Eden O
F C Dm Am
And her skin was like the lily white, that grows in yonder valley O
Bb Am G C D Am
She's my queen and my heart's delight, the flower of Magherally O
[Verse 3]
Dm C Bb Dm F C Am Bb C7
Her yellow hair in ringlets clung, her shoes were Spanish leather O
Dm C Bb Dm F G Am Bb
Her bonnet with blue ribbons strung, her scarlet cap and feather O
Dm Em A7 Bb G Em A7
Like Venus bright she did appear, my charming blue-eyed Sally O
Bb Am G Am C Bb
She's the girl that I love dear, the flower of Magherally O
[Verse 4]
Dm C Bb Dm F C Am Bb
I hope the day will surely come when we'll join hands together O
Dm C Bb Dm F G Am Bb
'Tis then I'll bring my darling home in spite of wind or weather O
Dm Em A7 Bb G Em A7
And let them all say what they will and let them reel and rally O
Bb Am G Am C Bb G Dm
For I shall wed the girl I love, the flower of Magherally O
