Tom: Em Em G D Em C D Em G D Em D Em G D Em C D Em G D Em D Em [Verse] Em G D In Banbridge Town in the County Down Em C D One morning last July, Em G D From a boreen green came a sweet colleen Em D Em And she smiled as she passed me by. G D She looked so sweet from her two bare feet Em C D To the sheen of her nut brown hair. Em G D Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook my self Em D Em For to see I was really there. [Chorus] G D From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and Em C D From Galway to Dublin Town, Em G D No maid I've seen like the brown colleen Em D Em That I met in the County Down. Em [Verse 2] Em G D As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head, Em C D And I looked with a feelin' rare, Em G D And I says, says I, to a passer-by, Em D Em "Who's the maid with the nut brown hair?" G D He smiled at me and he says, says he, Em C D "That's the gem of Ireland's crown. Em G D Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann, Em D Em She's the star of the County Down." [Chorus] G D From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and Em C D From Galway to Dublin Town, Em G D No maid I've seen like the brown colleen Em D Em That I met in the County Down [Bridge] Em G D Em C D Em G D Em D Em [Verse 3] Em G D At the Harvest Fair she'll be surely there Em C D And I'll dress in my Sunday clothes, Em G D With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right Em D Em For a smile from my nut brown rose. G D No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke Em C D Till my plough turns rust coloured brown. Em G D Till a smiling bride by my own fireside Em D Em Sits the star of the County Down. [Chorus] G D From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay and Em C D From Galway to Dublin Town, Em G D No maid I've seen like the brown colleen Em D Em That I met in the County Down
