[VERSE 1]

 

     D                   G 

Come over the hills, my bonnie Irish lass

     D                       G  A

Come over the hills to your darling

      G        D             A              G

You choose the rose love, and I'll make the vow

    G                         A D

And I'll be your true love forever

 

 

[CHORUS]

 

 D                       G             

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows

 D                       G  A

Fair is the lily of the valley

   G         D           A             G

Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne

    G                      A D

But my love is fairer than any

 

 

[VERSE 2]

 

       D                                    G

'Twas down by Killarney's green woods we strayed

     D                             G A

The moon and the stars they were shining

    G               D           A               G

The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair

      G                       A D

She swore she'd be my love forever

 

 

[CHORUS]

 

 D                       G             

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows

 D                       G  A

Fair is the lily of the valley

   G         D           A             G

Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne

    G                      A D

But my love is fairer than any

 

 

[VERSE 3]

 

      D                        G

It's not for the parting that my sister pains

     D                        G  A

It's not for the grief of my mother

     G            D          A            G

'Tis all for the loss of my bonnie Irish lass

      G                      A D

That my heart is breaking forever

 

 

[CHORUS]

 

 D                       G             

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows

 D                       G  A

Fair is the lily of the valley

   G         D           A             G

Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne

    G                      A D

But my love is fairer than any
