Spanish Stars - https://youtu.be/RT6mf2CgWsk
[Verse 1]
G C G
Twas the seventeenth of June, in my usual tradition
D D7 C G
Of waking in the morning for the hunting and the fishing
G C G
I strolled along the road and I'm kicking up the gravel
G C G C G
But my sorrow and my troubles were beginning to unravel
[Verse 2]
G C G
Now I've strolled along this road for a thousand times, or more sir
D D7 C G
A beauty such as she was, though, I've never seen before, sir
G C G
With golden hair tied up in a bow around her shoulders
G C G C G
At nineteen and a day or two, I couldn't say much more, sir
[Chorus]
G C G D
I would build for her, I would build her a castle
G C D D7 G
Underneath the Spanish stars, underneath the setting sun
[Verse 3]
G C G
"Will you marry me?", said I, when I knew that I had got her
D D7 C G
"I will", she said, "my dearest, if you'll only ask my father
G C G
For never would I marry, if I had no permission
G C G C G
Be he soldier lad, a farmer, or a teacher or physician"
[Chorus]
G C G D
I would build for her, I would build her a castle
G C D D7 G
Underneath the Spanish stars, underneath the setting sun
[Verse 4]
G C G
So, I found her father soon, near the home, where she had grown, sir
D D7 C G
A fat and lazy man, sir, now, that I have ever known, sir
G C G
"I'll give my daughter's hand now, if you favor my request
G C G C G
That you go and help my cousin, who is farming in the west"
[Chorus]
G C G D
I would build for her, I would build her a castle
G C D D7 G
Underneath the Spanish stars, underneath the setting sun
[Verse 5]
G C G
So, for all of but a year, I was tilling and a-plowing
D D7 C G
And writing to my sweetheart, when I found the time allowing
G C G
And then, I traveled home, when my chores were all completed
G C G C G
With a door closed in my face now, and that's how that I was greeted
[Chorus]
G C G D
I would build for her, I would build her a castle
G C D D7 G
Underneath the Spanish stars, underneath the setting sun
[Verse 6]
G C G
"Aha", said the man, "you will never have my daughter
D D7 C G
I have her married to a young apprentice, near Blackwater
G C G
Now, he's a married man, you see, and she's a married lady
G C G C G
I'd never let her marry any man, who came from Keady".
[Chorus]
G C G D
I would build for her, I would build her a castle
G C D D7 G
Underneath the Spanish stars, underneath the setting sun
[Verse 7]
G C G
Now I stroll along this road, nearly every single day, sir
D D7 C G
And I will tell you now, sir, yes, indeed now, if I may sir
G C G
That when you find a lady and know your heart is true, sir
G C G C G
You'd better keep an eye on her, or you'll be bound to lose her.
[Chorus]
G C G D
I would build for her, I would build her a castle
G C D D7 G
Underneath the Spanish stars, underneath the setting sun
[Verse 1]
