The Orchard by Liam Clancy
The Orchard
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 3rd fret
[INTRO:] G C G Em G D G C D C D
[VERSE 1:]
G C G Em
When I was nine, in harvest time
G D G C D C D
I crossed the orchard wall
Em D C G
The moon was bright and the apples ripe
Em G C D
Upon the ground did fall
Em D C G
We filled our sacks and we made our way back
Em G C D
More adventures still to find
G C G Em
In an orchard 'neath the Comeraghs
G D G C D C D
In the sweet Dungarvan green
[VERSE 2:]
G C G Em
I crossed the orchard wall again
G D G C D C D
When I was just thirteen
Em D C G
It was, I think, to be my first drink
Em G C D
Of cider and poitín
Em D C G
I remember well, it tasted like hell
Em G C D
And I hoped the pain would end soon
G C G Em
In an orchard 'neath the Comeraghs
G D G C D C D
In the sweet Dungarvan green
[VERSE 3:]
G C G Em G
And when I was twenty-one years old
D G C D C D7
I married Annie there
Em D C G
The apple blossoms on the trees
Em G C D
Looked better in her hair
Em D C G
And when the day was over
Em G C D
We danced away right through the trees
G C G Em
In an orchard 'neath the Comeraghs
G D G
In the sweet Dungarvan green
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G C G Em G D G C D C D
[VERSE 4:]
G C G Em
I'm Eighty-one, four children grown
G D G C D C D
And my Annie's long since gone
Em D C G
My days were good, as well they should
Em G C D
But it's time that I passed on
Em D C G
And when I die, I want to lie
Em G C D
Beneath a whispering tree
G C G Em
In an orchard 'neath the Comeraghs
G D G C D C D
In the sweet Dungarvan sea
[VERSE 5:]
Em D C G
And when I'm gone, may I be one
Em G C D
With the air and the land and the foam
G C G Em
In an orchard 'neath the Comeraghs
G D G C D C D G
In my sweet Dungarvan home
