A# F
I set my sails
A# F
And betrothed, the wind will guide me
A# F
To draw upon the North East shore
C
Of the emerald island
A# F
County Down
A# F
Where Bangor town
A# F
Is now and forever calling
A# F
And recalls me by the shore
C
At peace, in Silence
[Chorus]
A# C F
I sit down by the water and I
C
Glory at my host
Dm C A#
Let the rivers roll over like lovers
C F
Oh brothers and sisters and I
A#
Good lord you know we need it most

Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild

Let joys abound
A# F
Back in Fealty’s bar on High Street
A# F C
Where we’ll raise a glass to all a fair tomorrow
A# F
We’ll be found
A# F
Amidst the sound
A# F
Of our laughter ever roaring
A# F
As we drink our fill where once
C
We drowned our sorrows
[Chorus]

I sit down by the water and I

And where Jerry wails
A# F
Writing signs outside the Helmsman
A# F C
Beware you passers by what lays inside there
A# F
Oh he testified
A# F
And Julie cried
A# F
Reminiscing on her story
A# F C
Surrounded once by glory now by violence
[Chorus]

I sit down by the water and I

Glory at my host
