Em                     G      D         G       Em   D
Near to Banbridge town, in the County Down, one morning in July
       Em                  G          D          G             C      D  Em
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen and she smiled as she passed me by
    G                       Am                    G            Em        D
She looked so neat from her two white feet to the sheen of her nut-brown hair
         Em                  G        D            Em         C   D    Em
Sure the coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself, to make sure I was standing there

[CHORUS]
     G                Am                  G         Em     D
From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and from Galway to Dublin town
   Em                     G          D         Em     C   D  Em
No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen that I met in County Down
