For Ireland I'll Not Tell Her Name by John Barry Oge
For Ireland I'll Not Tell Her Name
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
D G D
Last eve as I wandered quiet near,
G A
To the border's of my little farm,
G D
A beautiful maiden appeared,
G D
Whoes lovely-ness caused my heart's harm,
G
By her daring and love smitten sour,
D A
And the words from her sweet lips that came,
D G D
To meet her I raced the field o're,
G D
But for Ireland i'd not tell her name.
[Verse 2]
D G D
If this beauty but my words would heed
G A
The words that I speak would be true,
G D
I'd help her in every need,
G D
And indeed all her work I would do,
D G
To win one fond kiss from my love,
D A
I'd read her romances of fame,
D G D
Her champion I daily would prove,
G D
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name.
[Verse 3]
D G D
There's a beautiful stately young maid,
G A
At the nearing of my little farm,
G D
She's welcoming kind unafraid,
G D
Her smile is both childlike and warm,
D G
Her gold hair in masses that grows,
D A
Like amber and sheen is that same,
D G D
And the bloom in her cheeks like the rose,
G D
But for Ireland I'd not tell her name.
