Verse 1
I (A minor) sat within the valley (G major) green,
I sat (A minor) me with my true love
My sad heart strove the two between, (G major)
(A minor) the old love and the new love
The old for her, the new that made
me think on Ireland dearly
While soft the wind blew down the glen (G major)
(A minor) and shook the golden barley
Verse 2
(A minor) 'Twas hard the woeful words to (G major) frame
(A minor) to break the ties that bound us
But harder still to bear the (G major) shame of
for (A minor) eign chains around us
And so I said, "The mountain glen
I'll seek at morning early
And join the bold united (G major) men,
(A minor) while soft winds shake the barley"

Verse 3
While sad I kissed away her (G major) tears,
(A minor) my fond arm (G major) s round (A minor) her flinging
The foeman's shot burst on our ears (G major)
(A minor) from out the wildwood ringing
A bullet pierced my true love's side
in life's young spring so early
And on my breast in blood she died (G major) while
(A minor) soft winds (G major) shook (A minor) the barley
Verse 4
But blood for blood without re (G major) morse
I've (A minor) taken at Oulart Hollow
And laid my true love's clay cold corpse
where I full soon (G major) may fol (A minor) low
As round her grave I wander drear, noon,
night and morning early
With breaking heart when e'er I hear (G major)
(A minor) the wind that shakes the barley
