[Verse 1]
Dm Gm Am Dm C Dm
I sat within the valley green, I sat me with my true love
Dm Gm Am Dm C Dm
My sad heart strove the two between, the old love and the new love
Dm C Bb A
The old for her, the new that made me think on Ireland dearly
Dm Gm Dm Am Dm C Dm
While soft the wind blew down the glen and shook the golden barley

[Verse 2]
Dm Gm Am Am C Dm
'Twas hard the woeful words to frame to break the ties that bound us
Dm Gm Am Dm C Dm
But harder still to bear the shame of foreign chains around us
Dm C Bb A
And so I said, "The mountain glen I'll seek at morning early
Dm Gm Dm Am Dm C Dm
And join the bold united men, while soft winds shake the barley"

[Verse 3]
Dm Gm Am Dm C Dm
While sad I kissed away her tears, my fond arms round her flinging
Dm Gm Am Dm C Dm
The foeman's shot burst on our ears from out the wildwood ringing
Dm C Bb A
A bullet pierced my true love's side in life's young spring so early
Dm Gm Dm Am Dm C Dm
And on my breast in blood she died while soft winds shook the barley

[Verse 4]
Dm Gm Am Dm C Dm
I bore her to some mountain stream and many's the summer blossom
Dm Gm Am Dm C Dm
I placed with branches soft and green about her blood-stained bosom
Dm C Bb A
I wept and kissed her clay-cold corpse then rushed o'er vale and valley
Dm Gm Dm Am Dm C Dm
My vengeance on the foe to wreak while soft wind shook the barley

[Verse 5]
Dm Gm Am Dm C Dm
But blood for blood without remorse I've taken at Oulart Hollow
Dm Gm Am Dm C Dm
And laid my true love's clay cold corpse where I here soon may follow
Dm C Bb A
As round her grave I wander drear, noon, night and early morning
Dm Gm Dm Am Dm C Dm
With breaking heart when e'er I hear the wind that shakes the barley
Dm Gm Dm Am Dm C Dm
With breaking heart when e'er I hear the wind that shakes the barley
