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

In Bangor town

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