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

In Bangor town

[Verse]
A E
And where Jerry wails
A E
Writing signs outside the Helmsman
A E B
Beware you passers by what lays inside there
A E
Oh he testified
A E
And Julie cried
A E
Reminiscing on her story
A E B
Surrounded once by glory now by violence
[Chorus]
A B E
I sit down by the water and I
B
Glory at my host
C#m B A
Let the rivers roll over like lovers
B E
Oh brothers and sisters and I
A
Good lord you know we need it most
B E A
Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild
