 Intro:

 

{t:Sweet Portadown}

{st:Daoiri Farrell}

{c:}

As [Dm]I went out [C]walkin' one [Gm]morning in [Am]June,

I [Bb]spied a fair [Am]damsel in the [Bb]sweet summer [C]bloom,

Her [Dm]cheeks they were [Am]rosy, her [Gm]hair it hung [Am]down

And she [Gm]came from Black[Am]water near to [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]down.

I [Dm]stood in a[C]mazement as the [Gm]breezes did [Am]blow,

And the [Bb]blood in my [Am]veins like a [Bb]river did [C]flow

I [Dm]thought her the [Am]fairest in all [Gm]Ireland was [Am]found,

The [Gm]day when I [Am]met her, near to [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]Idown

Says [Dm]I my we [C]lassie, I [Gm]don’t know your [Am]name,

She [Bb]answered me [Am]shyly, I’m a[Bb]fflicted the [C]same,

Says [Dm]I mine's O’[Am]Connor, a [Gm]name of re[Am]nown,

She [Gm]says mine's O’[Am]Driscoll from [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]Idown,

I ex[Dm]cused myself [C]kindly, I [Gm]said if you [Am]please,

We will [Bb]both take a [Am]ramble in the [Bb]Blackwater [C]breeze

I’m [Dm]sorry she [Am]said, but I [Gm]can’t go to[Am]day, 

For I’m [Gm]searching for [Am]young lambs, that [Bb]have gone a[Dm]stray.

Then [Dm]I will go [C]with you, in [Gm]search of your [Am]flock,

And the [Bb]sun it did [Am]dazzle on her [Bb]dark amber [C]locks,

We [Dm]searched the [Am]whole day, till the [Gm]sun it went [Am]down,

And at [Gm]length we lo[Am]cated them near to [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]down,

As we [Dm]made our way [C]homeward, we [Gm]sat down to [Am]rest,

And we [Bb]watched the rock [Am]thrush on the [Bb]Blackwater [C]cress,

I t[Dm]old her I [Am]loved her, as the [Gm]sun went [Am]down,

Be[Gm]hind the [Am]green hills near to [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]down,

She [Dm]said if you [C]love me, you [Gm]must be ex[Am]cused

For [Bb]I am a [Am]poor girl, so you [Bb]must be re[C]fused,

I [Dm]work hard for a [Am]living, the [Gm]whole year a[Am]round,

And be[Gm]sides I would [Am]never, leave [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]down,

I won’t [Dm]ask you to [C]leave it, the [Gm]place of your [Am]birth,

For [Bb]I know it’s the [Am]grandest and [Bb]fairest on [C]earth,

But if [Dm]you’ll con[Am]sent for to [Gm]be my own [Am]bride,

It’s [Gm]married we’ll [Am]be by the [Bb]Blackwater [Dm]side,

We [Dm]went to her [C]parents, they [Gm]considered a[Am]while,

Her [Bb]mother looked [Am]on me, and at [Bb]length she did [C]smile,

If [Dm]Flora con[Am]sents, so [Gm]we’ll consent [Am]to

And it’s [Gm]married we [Am]were on the [Bb]18th of [Dm]June

Come [Dm]all ye fair [C]maidens, as[Gm]semble to[Am]night,

And [Bb]marry your [Am]first love, even [Bb]though at first [C]sight,

Don’t [Dm]marry for [Am]riches or [Gm]fame or re[Am]nown,

For [Gm]we living [Am]happy near to [Bb]sweet Porta[Dm]down.

Dm: 7000
C: 5500 or 5530 or sometimes 0230
Gm: 0010 or 0550
Am: 2202 (A5) or 2230

Matt Heaton - Accompanying Slides

 Just found the time to make a little tab for this tutorial by Matt Heaton. In this series he talks about accompanying slides. He takes the DUDUDU - Jig Rhythm as basis and omits some parts. He ends up with D_DU_U|D_DU_U| etc.

This is how it looks in Tab:

The last bar is a little variation for endings.
