The Broad Majestic Shannon

[Intro] D  G  D  Bm  D  G  A  D

      D                                   G
The  last time I saw you was down at the  Greeks
            D                     G            Bm
There was  whiskey on Sunday and  tears on our cheeks
      D                               G
You  sang me a song as pure as the  breeze
       D    G          A
on a  road leading up Glena veigh

    D                               G
I  sat for a while at the  cross at Finnoe
       D                         G                        Bm
Where young  lovers would meet when the  flowers were in bloom
   D                                        G
Heard  the men coming home from the fair at Shin rone
       D            G             A        D
Their  hearts in Tippe rary wherever they  go

          D                  G      A
Take my  hand, and dry your  tears  babe
          D                 G      A
Take my  hand, forget your  fears  babe
            D                     G  A
There's no pain, there's no more  sorrow
             D         G        A     D
They're all gone, gone in the  years babe

( D  G  D  Bm  D  G  A  D )

  D                                 G
I sat for a while by the gap in the wall
         D                    G         Bm
Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
           D                                G
Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called
       D             G            A
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall

         D                                       G
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks
            D                     G            Bm
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks
         D                                   G
For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
         D         G         A          D
About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball

      D                  G      A
Take my  hand, and dry your  tears  babe
          D                 G      A
Take my  hand, forget your  fears  babe
            D                     G  A
There's no pain, there's no more  sorrow
             D         G        A    D
They're all gone, gone in the  years babe

        D                    G   A
So I  walked as the day was  dawning
                   D                   G   A
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling
                D                     G   A
Where we once  watched the row boats  landing
        D     G          A   D
By the  broad  majestic  Shannon
