    Em                   G
When I was a boy, on the banks of 
the Moy,
       C                        D
I went fishing one fine summer’s day
         Em                     
Down the patchy that strolled my 
 G
heart took a roll
C                      D
Seemed to pour past that way
       Am             C           
It was there, she sat down and we 
            D
talked for a while
       Am           C             
It was there I surrendered my 
       D
heart to a smile

        Em          G
She had eyes of the purest kind
    C              D
And lips I longed for all the time
        Bm            C           
But her cruel father tore us Both 
D
apart
          Em             G
She could smile, put the sun to 
shame
      C              D
Still in my dreams I call her name
     Bm                 C        
Lost time has failed to take her 
D        G
from my heart

[Verse]
    Em                          G
Her family had money, but her father
 had gambled
C           D
Most of his fortune away
   Em                        G
He arranged her to marry an old 
gentleman
      C                   D
But my love she couldn’t betray
      Am               C          
And to where we first met brooked 
          D
hearted she stroll
        Am           C            
In the Moy she surrendered  her 
       D
body and soul

        Em          G
She had eyes of the purest kind
    C              D
And lips I longed for all the time

Out
Em                               
On the banks of the Moy where I Once
G
 stood a boy
   C                       D
A lonely old man now  I did stray
     Em                            
Many years have gone by, but 
  G
there’s not one that I
       C                      D
Didn’t long to return to that day
       Am            C            
In the pool by the banks of the 
           D
Moy there’s a swan,
         Am              C     
And they say that she talks to a 
               D
lonely old man


        Em           G
She had eyes of the purest kind
