[Verse 1]
Dm C Bb C Dm
I wish I was on yonder hill
F Bb C
'tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,
Dm C Bb C Dm
And every tear would turn a mill,
C Dm
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb C Dm
Shule, shule, shule aroon,
F Bb C
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
Dm C Bb C Dm
Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,
C Dm
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Verse 2]
Dm C Bb C Dm
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel,
F Bb C
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,
Dm C Bb C Dm
To buy my love a sword of steel
C Dm
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Verse 3]
Dm C Bb C Dm
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red,
F Bb C
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread,
Dm C Bb C Dm
Until my parents shall wish me dead,
C Dm
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Verse 4]
Dm C Bb C Dm
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
F Bb C
I wish I had my heart again,
Dm C Bb C Dm
And vainly think I'd not complain,
C Dm
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Verse 5]
Dm C Bb C Dm
But now my love has gone to france,
F Bb C
To try his fortune to advance;
Dm C Bb C Dm
If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance,
C Dm
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb C Dm
Shule, shule, shule aroon,
F Bb C
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
Dm C Bb C Dm
Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,
C Dm
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
