Dave Gunning - Colleen Malone
INTRO:  C  
It's been ten years and Fthree since I Cfirst went to sea
Since I've Fsailed from old CIreland and Ghome
But those Chills lush and Fgreen were a Cpart of my dream
When I Fdreamed of my GColleen MaClone
On the day I reFturned to my Csorrow I learned
That the Fangels had Ccalled her aGway
To a Cgrave on a Fhill overClooking the mill
That's the Fplace where she's Gsleeping toCday
CHORUS:
As the Gsoft breezes blow, through the Fmeadow I Cgo
Past the Fmill with the Cmoss covered Gstone
Up the pathway I climb, through the Fwoods and the Cvines
To Fbe with my GColleen MaClone
She was faithful each Fday as I Csailed far away
There was Fno one but Cme that she Gloved
And I reCmember those Feyes, soft and Cblue as the skies
And her Fheart was as Gpure as a Cdove
CHORUS:
As the Gsoft breezes blow, through the Fmeadow I Cgo
Past the Fmill with the Cmoss covered Gstone
Up the pathway I climb, through the Fwoods and the Cvines
To Fbe with my GColleen MaClone
INSTRUMENTAL:   C    F    C    F    C    G    C    F    C    F    G  C  
All the years of my Flife I will Cnot take a wife
I will Flive in this Cvalley aGlone
Planting Cflowers aFround in the Csoft gentle ground
That's Fholding my GColleen MaClone
CHORUS:
As the Gsoft breezes blow, through the Fmeadow I Cgo
Past the Fmill with the Cmoss covered Gstone
Up the pathway I climb, through the Fwoods and the Cvines
To Fbe with my GColleen MaClone
Up the pathway I climb, through the Fwoods and the Cvines
To Fbe with my GColleen MaClone
