And kneel and [A] say an [E7] Ave there for me [A]
And I will know tho' [D] soft you tread a[A]bove me
And all my [A] grave will [D] richer sweeter [E7] be
And you'll bend [A] down and [D] tell me that you [A] love me [F#m]
And I will [A] rest in peace un[E7]til you come to [A] me

Verse 1:
In [Am] Banbridge Town in the [C] County [G] Down
One [Am] morning [F] last [G] July,

And she [Am] smiled as she [G] passed me [Am] by.
She [C] looked so sweet from her [G] two bare feet
To the [Am] sheen of her [F] nut brown [G] hair.
Such a [Am] coaxing elf, sure I [C] shook my [G] self
To make [Am] sure I was [G] really [Am] there.
|[Chorus]

He [C] smiled at me and he [G] says, says he,
"That's the [Am] gem of old [F] Ireland's [G] crown.
That's [Am] Rosie McCann from the [C] banks of the [G] Bann,
She's the [Am] star of the [G] County [Am] Down."

At the [Am] Harvest Fair she'll be [C] surely [G] there
So I'll [Am] dress in my [F] Sunday [G] clothes,
With my [Am] shoes shone bright and my [C] hat cocked [G] right
For a [Am] smile from my [G] nut brown [Am] rose.
No [C] pipe I'll smoke, no [G] horse I'll yoke
Till my [Am] plough is a [F] rust coloured [G] brown.
Till a [Am] smiling bride by my [C] own fire [G] side
Sits the [Am] star of the [G] County [Am] Down.
|[Chorus]
|From [C] Bantry Bay up to [G] Derry Quay and
|From [Am] Galway to [F] Dublin [G] Town,
