[Verse]
E B
I set my sails
E B
And betrothed, the wind will guide me
E B
To draw upon the North East shore
F#
Of the emerald island
E B
County Down
E B
Where Bangor town
E B
Is now and forever calling
E B
And recalls me by the shore
F#
At peace, in Silence
[Chorus]
E F# B
I sit down by the water and I
F#
Glory at my host
G#m F# E
Let the rivers roll over like lovers
F# B
Oh brothers and sisters and I
E
Good lord you know we need it most
F# B E
Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild
B F#
In Bangor town

County Down

[Verse]
E B
Let joys abound
E B
Back in Fealty’s bar on High Street
E B F#
Where we’ll raise a glass to all a fair tomorrow
E B
We’ll be found
E B
Amidst the sound
E B
Of our laughter ever roaring
E B
As we drink our fill where once
F#
We drowned our sorrows
[Chorus]
E F# B
I sit down by the water and I
F#
Glory at my host

Let the rivers roll over like lovers

Oh brothers and sisters and I

[Verse]
E B
And where Jerry wails
E B
Writing signs outside the Helmsman
E B F#
Beware you passers by what lays inside there
E B
Oh he testified
E B
And Julie cried
E B
Reminiscing on her story
E B F#
Surrounded once by glory now by violence
[Chorus]
E F# B
I sit down by the water and I
F#
Glory at my host
G#m F# E
Let the rivers roll over like lovers

Oh brothers and sisters and I
