The Maid Of Culmore

Am

[VERSE 1]
                     G         C           F
Leaving sweet lovely Derry for fair London town
        C        F  G    N.C. Am           Em
There's no finer harbour all around can be found
          Am    G  C    F  G     N.C. Am          Em
Where the young go each evening, go   down to the shore
N.C.    Am            C                       G  F
And the joy bells are ringing for the maid of Culmore


[VERSE 2]
    Am           G            C         F
The first time I saw her, she passed me by
        C           F   G    N.C. Am         Em
And the next time I saw her, she  bid me goodbye
        Am   G    C F   G       Am            Em
But the last time I saw her, it made my heart sore
        Am            C                     G  F
For she sailed out of Ireland and away from Culmore


[VERSE 3]
   Am        G          C             F
If I had the power, the storms for to rise
        C             F    G     N.C. Am         Em
I would make the wind blow high, I'd  darken the skies
    Am   G   C    F    G    N.C.    Am           Em
I'd make the wind blow high and the salt seas to roar
    Am          G               F
The day that my darling sailed away from Culmore


[VERSE 4]
       Am            G          C            F
To the far shore of America, my love I'll go seek
         C            F  G       Am           Em
For it's there I know no one and no one knows me
    Am G C     F    G           Am           Em
But if I don't find her, I'll return home no more
       Am           C                       G  F
Like a pilgrim I'll wander, for the maid of Culmore
