G                     G7          C
Alone all alone by the wave-washed strand
    D7                 G    C    G
And alone in a crowded hall
    G                      G7             C
The hall it is gay and the waves they are grand
           D7                   G    C    G
But but my heart is not here at all
   D         C      G            Em
It lies far away by night and by day
       A7                          D7
To the times and the joys that are gone
      G                           G7       C
But I never will forget the sweet maiden I met
       D7                  G    C    G
In the valley near Slievenamon


[Verse]
      G                        G7      C
Oh it was not the grace of her queenly air
        D7                  G     C    G
Nor her cheeks of the roses glow
        G                       G7      C
Nor her soft black eyes nor her flowing hair
    D7                    G    C    G
Nor was it her lily white brow
          D       C            G       Em
'Twas the soul of truth and of melting mooth
        A7                     D7
And the smile like a su-mmer's dawn
     G                       G7            C
That stole my heart away one soft summer's day
       D7                  G    C    G
In the valley near Slievenamon

[Verse]
       G                   G7          C
In the festive hall by the star washed shore
   D7                      G     C    G
Oh ever my restless spirit cries
   G                      G7            C
My love oh my love will 1 ne'er see you more
       D7                    G    C    G
And my land will you never uprise
   D            C     G         Em
By night and by day 1 ever ever pray
      A7                   D7
While lonely my life flows on
   G
To see our flag unrolled
       G7             C
And my true love to enfold
       D7                  G    C    G
In the valley near Slievenamon
       D7                  G    C    G
In the valley near Slievenamon
