Verse 1
G Early in the G7 morning the C sun began to G rise
Re C flecting on her G waters the Am movement of D the skies
G Slowly she flows G7 onwards dis C turbed I cannot G see
Through C fields and rolling G meadows past Am local D indus Gtry
Chorus
My C Lagan she flows C softly from Slieve G Croob down to the G sea
Through Dro-C more and Dro G mara then Am close to Agha D lee
From G Lisburn down to G7 Hilden Lam C beg and then Shaws G bridge
To C Belfast's salty G waters where her Am lonesome D journey G ends
Verse 2
The G years pass slowly G7 onwards C changes soon un G fold
C No more horses G pulling the Am barges filled with D coal
The G old Lock gates have G7 rotted the C pathways overG grown
But C still I love to G see her as Am slowly D she grows G old
Chorus
Verse 3
Oh G memories they are G7 precious and C they are brought to G life
As you C walk along the G towpath in the Am evening's fading Dlight
But G even now the G7 nightlife be C gins a brand new G day
Some C ripples on the G surface and a Am trout moves D on her G way
Chorus
Verse 4
Young G lovers they walk G7 slowly be C side my Lagan G stream
C Holding hands and G talking a Am bout their wildest D dreams
AG cross the water G7 laughter comes C drifting through the G night
C Dancing shadows G ripple Am in the D moonshine G light
Chorus
