Bangor Town - Foy Vance
C G
I set my sails
C G
And betrothed the wind will guide me
C G
To draw upon the north-east shore
D
Of the Emerald Isle
C G
County Down
C G
Where Bangor town
C G
Is now and forever calling
C G
And recalls me by the shore
D
At peace in silence.
|[Chorus]
|C D G
|I sit down by the water and I
|D
|Glory at my host
| Em D C
|Let the rivers roll over like lovers
| D G
|Oh brothers and sisters and I
|C
|Good lord you know we need it most
| D G C
|Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild
| G D
|In Bangor town, County Down.
|(C) (G)
C G
Let joys abound
C G
Back in Fealty’s bar on High Street
C G
Where we’ll raise a glass to all
D
A fair tomorrow
C G
We’ll be found
C G
Amidst the sound
C G
Of our laughter ever roaring
C G
As we drink our fill where once we
D
Drowned our sorrows
|[Chorus]
