Verse 1
D 
Alone,  (D major) all alone
Ebdim 
G 
by the  (E flatdim) wave     -white strand,  (G major) 
A 
D 
All alone  (A major) in the festive hall.  (D major) 
The whole it is gay,
Ebdim 
G 
and  (E flatdim) the waves they are  (G major) grand,
A 
D 
But my  (A major) heart is not here at  (D major) all.
A 
For it  (A major) flies far away,
D 
by  (D major) night and by day,
E 
A 
To the  (E major) time and the joys that are  (A major) gone
D 
And I  (D major) never can forget
G 
The sweet maiden I  (G major) met
A 
In the  (A major) valley near Slevenmaw
D 
G 
Em 
A 
D 
 (D major)  (G major)  (E minor)  (A major)  (D major) It was not the
Ebdim 
G 
grace of her  (E flatdim) queenly  hair,  (G major) 
A 
nor her  (A major) cheeks of the roses glow,
D 
 (D major) Nor her soft dark eyes,
Ebdim 
G 
nor  (E flatdim) her curling hair,  (G major) 
A 
D 
nor  (A major) was it her lily -white  (D major) brow.
A 
D 
Twas the  (A major) soul of truth, that  (D major) melting ruth,
E 
A 
And her  (E major) smile, like the summer's  (A major) dawn,
D 
That stole  (D major) my heart away
Ebdim 
One  (E flatdim) fine     summer day
G 
A 
 (G major) In the  (A major) valley near Slevenham
D 
G 
Em 
A 
D 
 (D major) Alone,  (G major)  (E minor)  (A major)  (D major) all alone
Ebdim 
G 
By the  (E flatdim) wave     wash  (G major) o 'er,
A 
D 
My restless  (A major) spirit cries.  (D major) 
O my love,
O my love,
Ebdim 
G 
Shall I  (E flatdim) never    see you  (G major) more,
A 
O my  (A major) land,
D 
Will you never uprise?  (D major) 
A 
By night  (A major) and by day,
D 
I  (D major) ever, ever pray,
E 
A 
Though  (E major) lonely, my life roll (A major) s on,
D 
For to see  (D major) her flag unfurled,
Ebdim 
G 
And  (E flatdim) my true  love to un (G major) fold,
A 
E 
A 
D 
In the  (A major) valley  (E major) near  (A major) Sleipnir  (D major) Morgh.
