Another gem from Daoiri Farrell. A version of The Bonnie Irish Maid or Blackwaterside. The lyrics here don't match Daoiri's always. Here's a link to the lyrics he uses but the chords are a bit different and in G.
Live Version, Capo 5
Studio Version, Capo 3
{t:Blackwater Side - Bonny Irish Maid}
{st:Daoiri Farrell}
{c:Capo 5}
As [D]I went out one [G]morning [A]fair, so [A7]early [A]as I [D]strayed
It being all in the month of [G]May the [D]birds sang [A]in the [G]shade[A]
The [D]sun shone down right merri[G]ly and the [D]water did [A]swiftly [G]glide [A]
Where the [D]primroses [D/F#]and [G]daisies [A]grow, down [A]by Black[A7]water[D]side
I [D]had not gone but [G]half a mile when [D]there by [A]chance I [D]spied
Two lovers talk as they did [G]walk down [D]by Black[A]water[G]side
And [D]as he held her in his [G]arms, these [D]words to [A]her did [G]say
"When [D]I am in A[G]merica I'll be [D]true to my [A]Irish [D]Maid"
"T’is [D]when you are in A[G]merica those [D]Yankee [A]girls you'll [D]find
And you'll have sweethearts of your [G]own more [D]pleasing [A]to your [G]mind
Do [D]not forget the promi[G]ses and the [D]vows you [A]made to [G]me
Oh, [D]stay at home love, [G]do not roam from your [D]bonny [A]Irish [D]maid"
"T’is [D]when I'm in A[G]merica, those [D]Yankee [A]girls I'll [D]see
And they must be very hand[G]some, to re[D]mind me [A]love of [G]thee
For [D]there's not a bird in yonder [G]bush or [D]flower in [A]yonder [G]glade
That [D]does remind me [G]love of thee, my [D]bonny [A]Irish [D]maid"
"It's [D]many's the foolish [G]youth" she said, "has [D]gone to some [A]foreign [D]shore
Leaving behind his own true love be[G]hind, for [D]ne’er to [A]see no [G]more
It's in [D]crossing of the Atlantic [G]foam, some[D]times their [A]graves are [G]made
Oh, [D]stay at home love, [G]do not roam from your [D]bonny [A]Irish [D]maid"
These [D]two young hearts to[G]gehter so [D]fondly [A]did em[D]brace
Like honey drops upon the [G]dew, the [D]tears ran [A]down her [G]face
"There’s [D] not a day while you're a[G]way I'll [D]visit [A]still these [G]glades
Un[D]til you do re[G]turn again to your [D]bonny [A]Irish [D]maid."
I made some tabs for the intro and verses in Tabledit, which is an app I really can recommend.
You can download my tabs from my Dropbox.
