[Verse 1]
F#
She lived beside the Anner,
B F#
At the foot of Slievna-man,
B C# D#m
C# gentle peasant girl,
B C#
With mild eyes like the dawn;
F# B F#
Her lips were dewy rosebuds;
B C# D#m
Her teeth of pearls rare;
B A#m
And a snow-drift 'neath a beechen bough
B C# F#
Her neck and nut-brown hair
[Verse 2]
F#
How pleasant was to meet her
B F#
On Sunday when the bell
B C# D#m
Was filling with its mellow tone
B C#
Lone wood and grassy dell,
F# B F#
And when at eve young maidens
B C# D#m
Strayed the river bank along,
B A#m
The widow's brown-haired daughter,
B C# F#
Was loveliest of the throng
[Chorus]
C# A#m
O brave, brave Irish girls-
B F#
We well may call you brave!-
D#m A#m
Sure the least of all your perils
B C#
Is the stormy ocean wave,
C# A#m
When you leave our quiet valleys,
B F#
And cross the Atlantic's foam
D#m A#m
To hoard your hard-won earnings,
D#m C# F#
For the helpless ones at home.
[Verse 3]
F#
"Write word to my own dear mother,
B F#
Say we'll meet with God above;
B C# D#m
And tell my little brothers,
B C#
I send them all my love;
F# B F#
May the angels ever guide them
B C# D#m
Is their dying sister's prayer"-
B A#m
And folded in a letter
B C# F#
Was a braid of nut-brown hair
[Verse 4]
F#
Ah cold and well-nigh callous,
B F#
This weary heart has grown,
B C# D#m
For thy helpless fate, dear Ireland
B C#
And for sorrows of my own
F# B F#
Yet a tear, my eye will moisten
B C# D#m
When by Anner side I stray,
B A#m
For the lily of the mountain foot,
B C# F#
That withered far away
[Chorus]
C# A#m
O brave, brave Irish girls-
B F#
We well may call you brave!-
D#m A#m
Sure the least of all your perils
B C#
Is the stormy ocean wave,
C# A#m
When you leave our quiet valleys,
B F#
And cross the Atlantic's foam
D#m A#m
To hoard your hard-won earnings,
D#m C# F#
For the helpless ones at home.
