[Verse]
B F#
I set my sails
B F#
And betrothed, the wind will guide me
B F#
To draw upon the North East shore
C#
Of the emerald island
B F#
County Down
B F#
Where Bangor town
B F#
Is now and forever calling
B F#
And recalls me by the shore
C#
At peace, in Silence
[Chorus]
B C# F#
I sit down by the water and I
C#
Glory at my host
D#m C# B
Let the rivers roll over like lovers
C# F#
Oh brothers and sisters and I
B
Good lord you know we need it most
C# F# B
Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild
F# C#
In Bangor town
F# B F#
County Down
C# B F#
[Verse]
B F#
Let joys abound
B F#
Back in Fealty’s bar on High Street
B F# C#
Where we’ll raise a glass to all a fair tomorrow
B F#
We’ll be found
B F#
Amidst the sound
B F#
Of our laughter ever roaring
B F#
As we drink our fill where once
C#
We drowned our sorrows
[Chorus]
B C# F#
I sit down by the water and I
C#
Glory at my host
D#m C# B
Let the rivers roll over like lovers
C# F#
Oh brothers and sisters and I
B
Good lord you know we need it most
C# F# B
Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild
F# C#
In Bangor town
F# B F#
County Down
C# B F#
[Verse]
B F#
And where Jerry wails
B F#
Writing signs outside the Helmsman
B F# C#
Beware you passers by what lays inside there
B F#
Oh he testified
B F#
And Julie cried
B F#
Reminiscing on her story
B F# C#
Surrounded once by glory now by violence
[Chorus]
B C# F#
I sit down by the water and I
C#
Glory at my host
D#m C# B
Let the rivers roll over like lovers
C# F#
Oh brothers and sisters and I
B
Good lord you know we need it most
C# F# B
Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild
F# C#
In Bangor town
F# B F#
County Down
