Verse 1
D 
C 
As I  walked out one evening
D 
G 
down by the riverside
D 
While gazing all around me
C 
D 
A 
an Ir ish girl I spied
D 
G 
D 
G 
A rosy red was in her cheek,
D 
A 
and cold black was her hair,
D 
C 
D 
And costly were the robes of gold
G 
D 
my Irish girl did wear.
A 
D 
C 
D 
The little shoes this maiden wore,
G 
Were of the Spanish brown,
D 
G 
And the mantle on her shoulders,
D 
A 
Oft -silked, was wrought all round.
D 
G 
D 
G 
Her gentle face, her modest ways
D 
A 
Would leave my heart in pain
D 
C 
I'd ring this world all over
D 
G 
D 
My Irish Celt again
C 
D 
I wish I was a butterfly
G 
D 
I'd light on my love's breast
G 
I wish I was a nightingale
D 
A 
I'd sing my love to rest
D 
G 
D 
G 
I'd sing at morn, I'd sing at eve,
D 
A 
A love song soft and slow.
D 
C 
And year by year, I'll love my dear,
D 
G 
D 
Let the wind blow high or low.
