Bangor Town [C] - Foy Vance

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]
