[Intro]
D Em G D
[Verse]
D Em G D
O Bonny Portmore you shine where you stand
D Em
And the more I think of you,
G D
The more I think long
G D Em Bm
If I have you now as I have once before
G D
All the Lords of Old England
Em A
Would not purchase Portmore.
[Verse]
D Em G D
O Bonny Portmore I am sorry to see
D Em
Such a woeful destruction
G D
Of your ornament tree
G D
For it stood on your shore
Em Bm
For many’s the long day
G D
’Til the long boats from Antrim
Em A
Came to float it away.

All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep

Saying “where shall we shelter

They are all cutten down

And the walls of Bonny Portmore
Em A
Are down to the ground.
