[VERSE 1]
C F C
It's been ten years and three since I first went to sea
F D G
Since I've sailed from old Ireland and home
C F C
But those hills lush and green were a part of my dream
F G C
When I dreamed of my Colleen Malone
[VERSE 2]
C F C
On the day I returned to my sorrow I learned
F D G
That the angels had called her away
C F C
To a grave on a hill overlooking the mill
F G C
That's the place where she's sleeping today
[CHORUS]
G F C
As the soft breezes blow, through the meadow I go
F C G
Past the mill with the moss covered stone
F C
Up the pathway I climb, through the woods and the vines
F G C
To be with my Colleen Malone
[VERSE 3]
C F C
She was faithful each day as I sailed far away
F D G
There was no one but me that she loved
C F C
And I remember those eyes, soft and blue as the skies
F G C
And her heart was as pure as a dove
[CHORUS]
G F C
As the soft breezes blow, through the meadow I go
F C G
Past the mill with the moss covered stone
G F C
Up the pathway I climb, through the woods and the vines
F G C
To be with my Colleen Malone

[VERSE 4]
F C
All the years of my life I will not take a wife
F D G
I will live in this valley alone
C F C
Planting flowers around in the soft gentle ground
F G C
That's holding my Colleen Malone
[CHORUS]
G F C
As the soft breezes blow, through the meadow I go
F C G
Past the mill with the moss covered stone
G F C
Up the pathway I climb, through the woods and the vines
F G C
To be with my Colleen Malone
G F C
Up the pathway I climb, through the woods and the vines
F G C
To be with my Colleen Malone
