CAPO: 1st Fret
[Verse 1]
Bm F#m G E A E
One pleasant summer's morning, when all the flowers were springing O
G F#m E A Bm
Nature was adorning and the wee birds sweetly singing O
D A Bm F#m
I met my love near Banbridge Town, my charming blue-eyed Sally O
G F#m E F#m G A
She's the queen of the County Down, the flower of Magherally O
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m G Bm D E G
With admiration I did gaze upon this blue-eyed maiden O
Bm A G Bm D E D Bm A
Adam wasn't half so much pleased when he met Eve in Eden O
D A Bm F#m
And her skin was like the lily white, that grows in yonder valley O
G F#m E A B F#m
She's my queen and my heart's delight, the flower of Magherally O
[Verse 3]
Bm A G Bm D A F#m G A7
Her yellow hair in ringlets clung, her shoes were Spanish leather O
Bm A G Bm D E F#m G
Her bonnet with blue ribbons strung, her scarlet cap and feather O
Bm C#m F#7 G E C#m F#7
Like Venus bright she did appear, my charming blue-eyed Sally O
G F#m E F#m A G
She's the girl that I love dear, the flower of Magherally O
[Verse 4]
Bm A G Bm D A F#m G
I hope the day will surely come when we'll join hands together O
Bm A G Bm D E F#m G
'Tis then I'll bring my darling home in spite of wind or weather O
Bm C#m F#7 G E C#m F#7
And let them all say what they will and let them reel and rally O
G F#m E F#m A G E Bm
For I shall wed the girl I love, the flower of Magherally O
