[VERSE 1]
     G        Bm       Am          C
Come over the hills my bonny Irish lass
     G        Em7           C   Bm
Come over the hills to your darling
C              Bm              C    Am       C
You choose the road, love, and I'll make the vow
    G            C    G       D  G
And I'll be your true love forever__


[CHORUS]
           Bm           Am            C
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
G           Em7         C  Bm
Fair is the lily of the valley
C            Bm         C     Am       C
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    G          C   G       D  G     D
But my love is fairer than any___


[VERSE 2]
      G          Bm             Am            C
'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
        G            Em7             C   Bm
And the moon and the stars they were shining
    C              Bm          C        Am     C
The moon shone its rays on her locks of golden hair
        G              C  G       D  G
And she swore she'd be my love forever__


[CHORUS]

Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
G           Em7         C  Bm
Fair is the lily of the valley
C            Bm         C     Am       C
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    G          C   G       D  G     D
But my love is fairer than any___


[VERSE 3]
     G           Bm           Am        C
It's not for the parting that my sister pains
     G           Em7         C  Bm
'Tis not for the grief of my mother
     C           Bm         C     Am    C
'Tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
     G           C    G      D  G
That my heart is breaking forever__


[CHORUS]
           Bm           Am            C
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
G           Em7         C  Bm
Fair is the lily of the valley
C            Bm         C     Am       C
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    G          C   G       D  G
But my love is fairer than any___
