Key of E (C Position, Capo 4th Fret)
[Intro]
C F F F G C
[Verse 1]
CIt's been ten years and tFhree since I fCirst went to sea
Since I've Fsailed from old D7Ireland and Ghome
But those Chills lush and Fgreen were a Cpart of my dream
When I Fdreamed of my GColleen MaClone
[Verse 2]
COn the day I retFurned to my sCorrow I learned
That the Fangels had D7called 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
[Verse 3]
CShe was faithful each dFay as I sCailed far away
There was Fno one but D7me 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
GUp the pathway I climb, through the wFoods and the vCines
To Fbe with my GColleen MaClone
[Instrumental]
C  F  C  F  D7  G  C  F  C  F  G  C
[Verse 4]
All the years of my Flife I will Cnot take a wife
I will Flive in this D7valley 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
GUp the pathway I climb, through the wFoods and the vCines
To Fbe with my GColleen MaClone
GUp the pathway I climb, through the wFoods and the vCines
To Fbe with my GColleen MaClone
