CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   Am    G    C/G  F  
Leaving Amsweet lovely GDerry for C/Gfair London Ftown
There is C/Gno  GfiAmner FharGbour all aAmround can be Emfound
Where the C/GyoungGsters Ameach FeveGning go Amdown to the Emshore
And the Amjoy bells are Gringing for the C/Gmaid of CulFmore
The Amfirst time I Gsaw her, she C/Gpassed me Fby
And the C/Gnext Gtime AmI sFaw Gher, she Ambid me goodEmbye
And the C/Glast Gtime AmI sFaw Gher, it Amgrieved my heart Emsore
For she Amsailed out of GIreland, aC/Gway from CulFmore
If AmI had the Gpower the C/Gstorms for to Frise
I would C/Gmake Gthe Amwind Fblow Gout and I'd Amdarken the Emskies
I'd C/Gmake Gthe Amwind Fblow Ghigh and the Amsalt seas to Emroar
'Til the Amday that my Gdarling sailed aC/Gway from CulFmore
INSTRUMENTAL:    Am     G    C/G     F   C/G   G   Am   F     G     Am     Em     Am     G    C/G  F  
To the Amfar parts of AGmerica, my C/Glove I'll go Fseek
For it's C/Gthere GI Amknow Fno Gone and Amno one knows Emme
But C/Gif  GI Amdon't Ffind Gher, I'll reAmturn home no Emmore
Like a pilAmgrim I'll Gwander for the C/Gmaid of CulFmore
Like a Ampilgrim I'll Gwander for the C/Gmaid of CulFmore

The Willows - Maid of Culmore

CAPO: 2nd Fret

Am G C/G F

INTRO:

Am G C/G F

Leaving sweet lovely Derry for fair London town

C/G G Am F G Am Em

There is no finer harbour all around can be found

C/G G Am F G Am Em

Where the youngsters each evening go down to the shore

Am G C/G F

And the joy bells are ringing for the maid of Culmore

Am G C/G F

The first time I saw her, she passed me by

C/G G Am F G Am Em

And the next time I saw her, she bid me goodbye

C/G G Am F G Am Em

And the last time I saw her, it grieved my heart sore

Am G C/G F

For she sailed out of Ireland, away from Culmore

Am G C/G F

If I had the power the storms for to rise

C/G G Am F G Am Em

I would make the wind blow out and I'd darken the skies

C/G G Am F G Am Em

I'd make the wind blow high and the salt seas to roar

Am G C/G F

'Til the day that my darling sailed away from Culmore

Am G C/G F C/G G Am F G Am Em Am G C/G F

INSTRUMENTAL:

Am G C/G F

To the far parts of America, my love I'll go seek

C/G G Am F G Am Em

For it's there I know no one and no one knows me

C/G G Am F G Am Em

But if I don't find her, I'll return home no more

Am G C/G F

Like a pilgrim I'll wander for the maid of Culmore

Am G C/G F

Like a pilgrim I'll wander for the maid of Culmore
