[Verse 1]
Am Dm7 G
The winter is past, and the summer's come at last
Dm7 C G
And the small birds are singing in the trees
C Dm7 G
Their little hearts are glad, but mine is very sad
C F G
Since my true love is far away from me
[Verse 2]
C Am Dm7 G
The rose upon the briar like the water running clear
Dm7 C G
Gives joy to the linnet and the bee
C Dm7 G
Their little hearts are blessed, but mine is not at rest
C F G
Since my true love is far away from me
[Chorus]
C Am F G
For it's straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
C F Dm7 G
It's there I'll find tidings of my dear
[Bridge]
C Am F G
A livery I'll wear and I'll comb back my hair
Dm C G
And in velvet of green I will appear
[Instrumental]
G Am F G C F G
[Chorus]
C Am F G
For it's straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
C F Dm7 G
It's there I'll find tidings of my dear
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C Am Dm7 G
You that are in love and cannot it remove
Dm7 C G
I pity the pain that you endure
C Dm7 G
For experience lets me know that your hearts are full of woe
C F G
A woe that no mortal can cure
[Chorus]
C Am F G
For it's straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
C F Dm7 G
It's there I'll find tidings of my dear
[Chorus]
C Am F G
For it's straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
C F Dm7 G
It's there I'll find tidings of my dear
