Cherish The Ladies - Queen Of Connemara
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Verse 1]
C F C
Oh, my boat can safely float in the teeth of wind and weather
Am C F Dm G
And outrace the fastest clipper between Galway and Kinsale
C F Dm C Am
Where the white foam of the ocean and the dark clouds roll together
F C Dm G C
There she rides it in her pride, like a seagull over the waves
[Chorus]
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
Em F Am
She's a beauty in every line
G C
The Queen of Connemara
F C G C
She's that bounding barque of mine
[Interlude]
G C F C G C
[Verse 2]
F C
When she's loaded down with fish 'til the water lips the gun'l
Am C F Dm G
Not a drop she'll take on board her that would drive a fly away
C F Dm C Am
Like a ship she'll sail out gladly, like a greyhound from his kennel
F C Dm G C
And she'll land her silver store, the first on ould Kinvara quay
[Chorus]
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
Em F Am
She's a beauty in every line
G C
The Queen of Connemara
F C G C
She's that bounding barque of mine
[Instrumental]
C F C Am C F G
C F Dm C Am F C Dm G C
[Chorus]
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
Em F Am
She's a beauty in every line
G C
The Queen of Connemara
F C G C
She's that bounding barque of mine
[Verse 3]
F C
There's a light shines out afar, and it keeps me from dismaying
Am C F Dm G
When the sky is ink above us and the sea runs white with foam
C F Dm C Am
In a cot in Connemara, there's a wife and wee ones praying
F C Dm G C
To the one who walked the waters once, to send us safely home
[Chorus]
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
Em F Am
She's a beauty in every line
G C
The Queen of Connemara
F C G C
She's that bounding barque of mine
[Chorus]
Oh, she's neat, oh, she's sweet
Em F Am
She's a beauty in every line
G C
The Queen of Connemara
F C G C
She's that bounding barque of mine
G C
The Queen of Connemara
F C G C
She's that bounding barque of mine
