Tuning: Standard

This song is from the Chieftains album "The Long Black Veil" but this
version is arranged and sung by Mark Knopfler. Everything should be correct.

Have fun playing this great tune.


     C               G  C         Am       F/G    C        F
When first I came to Ireland some pleasure for to find
     C       G/B     Am     Em         C              F
It's there I spied a damsel fair, most pleasing to my mind
    C    G/B        Am        Em        C                 F
Her rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes like arrows pierced my breast
    C                 G     C       Am   F/G    Csus     C
And I call her lovely Molly O', the lily of the west


    C            G    C       Am   F/G   C       F
One day as I was walking down by a shady grove
  C         G/B   Am        Em   C               F
I spied a lord of high degree conversing with my love
       C          G/B   Am     Em       C          F
As she sang her song delightfully while I was sore oppressed
       C              G     C       Am   F/G    Csus     C
Saying I bid adieu to Molly O', the lily of the west
