 (Capo: 2nd Fret)
 
          (G)           (D)           (C)           (G)
 It's been ten years and three since I first went to sea
         (C)             (D)         (G)
 Since I sailed from old Ireland and home.
                            (D)           (C)       (G)
 With those hills, lush and green where I parted my dream
        (C)           (D)     (G)
 When I dreamed of my Colleen Malone.
 
 (G)              (D)          (C)       (G)
 On the day I returned,  to my sorrow I learned
          (C)        (D)        (G)
 That the angels had called her away.
                 (D)      (C)         (G)
 To a grave on a hill overlooking the mill
            (C)               (D)      (G)
 That's the place where she's sleeping today.
 
 (chorus)
 (solo)
        (D)                          (C)      (G)
 As the soft breezes flow through the meadow I go
           (C)          (D)          (G)
 Past the mill with the moss-covered stone
        (D)                        (C)            (G)
 Up the pathway I climb thought the woods and the vines
    (C)        (D)     (G)
 To be with my Colleen Malone
 
         (G)           (D)      (C)        (G)
 She was faithfull each day as I sailed far away
          (C)        (D)         (G)
 There was no one but me that she loved.
                      (D)           (C)         (G)
 And I remember those eyes, soft and blue as the skies
         (C)         (D)       (G)
 And her heart was as pure as a dove.
 
 (chorus)
 (solo)
 
         (G)        (D)         (C)        (G)
 All the years of my life I will not take a wife
        (C)        (D)    (G)
 I will live in the valley alone.
                  (D)           (C)         (G)
 Planting flowers around in this soft gentle ground
         (C)        (D)     (G)
 That is holding my Colleen Malone.
 
 (Chorus)
