Another old Irish tune from back in the day,
a fantastic Kilkenny song that's great for a sing-a-long
All done with two chords and a great voice.

THE ROSE OF MOONCOIN
INTRO: D D D G
G G D G
How pleasant to roam, By the sunny blue stream
D D G G
To hear the dove coo, 'Neath the morning sunbeams
G G D G
Where the thrush and the robin, Their sweet notes entwine
D D D G
On the banks of the Suir, That flows down by Mooncoin
G G D G
Flow on lovely river, Flow gently along
D D G G
Your waters so clear, Sings the larks merry song
G G D G
On the green banks, I'll wander, Where first I did join
D D D G D D D G
With you, Lovely Molly, Fair rose of Mooncoin
G G D G
Oh Molly, Dear Molly, It breaks my poor heart
D D G G
To think, How we true, Love forever, Must part
G G D G
But I'll think of you Molly, While sun and moon shine
D D D G
On the banks of the Suir, That flows down by Mooncoin
G G D G
Flow on lovely river, Flow gently along
D D G G
Your waters so clear, Sings the larks merry song
G G D G
On the green banks, I'll wander, Where first I did join
D D D G
With you, Lovely Molly, Fair rose of Mooncoin
G G D G
Flow on lovely river, Flow gently along
D D G G
Your waters so clear, Sings the larks merry song
G G D G
On the green banks, I'll wander, Where first I did join
D D D G
With you, Lovely Molly, Fair rose of Mooncoin
