Verse 1:
[ G ] Down yonder green [ Em ] valley where [ Am ] stream-lets me [ D ] ander,
When [ G ] twilight is [ C ] fading I [ D ] pensively [ G ] rove.

Or at the bright [ Em ] noontide in [ Am ] solitude [ D ] wander,
A [ G ] mid the dark [ C ] shades of the [ D ] lonely ash [ G ] grove.

Twas there while the blackbird was [ D ] cheerfully singing,
I [ Em ] first met that [ G ] dear one, the [ D ] joy of [ A ] my [ D ] heart.

A [ G ] round us for [ Em ] gladness the [ Am ] bluebells were [ D ] springing,
Ah! [ G ] then little [ C ] thought I how [ D ] soon we should [ G ] part.


Verse 2:
[ G ] Still glows the bright [ Em ] sunshine o'er [ Am ] valley and [ D ] mountain,
Still [ G ] warbles the [ C ] blackbird its [ D ] note from the [ G ] tree.

Still trembles the [ Em ] moonbeam on [ Am ] stream-let and [ D ] fountain,
But [ G ] what are the [ C ] beauties of [ D ] Nature to [ G ] me?

With sorrow, deep sorrow, my [ D ] heart is laden,
All [ Em ] day I go [ G ] mourning in [ D ] search of [ A ] my [ D ] love!

Ye [ G ] echoes! Oh [ Em ] tell me, where [ Am ] is the sweet [ D ] maiden?
"She [ G ] sleeps 'neath the [ C ] green turf down [ D ] by the Ash [ G ] Grove."
