This is a song from the Dubliners.

This is the first song that i've submitted and I have gotten so many.
II'm not too sure of the words and I am only transcribing from memory as I dont have the song
on CD but Hey It works for me....

I Loved the Ground You Walk Upon.

Chords ; G Em C D7


G...........G(E bass)....C..C/B...Em.........Am7..........D7..........G
Oh I Love the ground She walked upon and the air she would softly breathe

G..........G(E bass)....C..C/B..Em........Am7.....D7..........G.
The Feather touch of her gentle lips. That only a fool could leave.

C...........D..........G.....
That only a Fool Could Leave.

G........C...C/B...Am7.....D7.
But we tasted forbidden wine

D7.......G........G(E..bass) .C..C/B...Am7
Though I loved the ground she walked upon .

D7..........................G
I could never have made her mine

The Swallows Fly all along the canal and I watch with a heavy heart.
In Dizzy spins they dive and wheel
touch wings and then depart.
Touch wings and then depart.
As the summer fades away.
Though I loved the ground she walked upon
I knew that I could not stay.

The Swallow is a summer child and she flies before the cold.
Though I loved the ground she walked upon
She was not mine to hold.
She was not mine to hold.
But it was easy to pretend.
Though I loved the ground She walked upon.
A Summer has to end
A summer has to end..

From Bob / Dublin/ Ireland...
