[Intro]
D Em G D
[Verse]
D Em G D
O Bonny Portmore you shine where you stand
D Em
And the more I think of you,
G D
The more I think long
G D Em Bm
If I have you now as I have once before
G D
All the Lords of Old England
Em A
Would not purchase Portmore.
[Verse]
D Em G D
O Bonny Portmore I am sorry to see
D Em
Such a woeful destruction
G D
Of your ornament tree
G D
For it stood on your shore
Em Bm
For many’s the long day
G D
’Til the long boats from Antrim
Em A
Came to float it away.

[Verse]
D Em G D
All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep
D Em
Saying “where shall we shelter
G D
And where shall we sleep?”
G D
For the Oak and the Ash
Em Bm
They are all cutten down
G D
And the walls of Bonny Portmore
Em A
Are down to the ground.
