G F C
There were two sisters of County Clare
Dm7 G
Oh, the wind and rain

One was dark and the other was fair
Dm7 C F G
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Verse 2]

And they both had the love of the miller's son
Dm7 G
Oh, the wind and rain
Am7 C
But he was fond of the fairer one
Dm7 C F G
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Verse 3]

So she pushed her into the river to drown

Oh, the wind and rain
Am7 C
And watched her as she floated out
Bb G
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Interlude]
C G C Dm F
[Verse 4]

She floated 'til she came to the miller's pond
Dm7 G
Oh, the wind and rain
Am7 C
Dead on the water like a golden swan
Dm7 C F G
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Verse 5]

And she came to rest on the riverside
Dm7 G
Oh, the wind and rain
Am7 C
And her bones were washed by the rolling tide
Dm7 C F G
Oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Verse 6]
F C
And along the road came a fiddler fair
Dm7 G
Oh, the wind and rain
Am7 C
And found her bones just lying there
Bb G
Crying, oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Interlude]
C G C Dm F
[Verse 7]

So he made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone
Dm7 G
Oh, the wind and rain
Am7 C
He made a fiddle peg of her long finger bone
Dm7 C F G
Crying, oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Verse 8]

And he strung his fiddle bow with her long yellow hair
Dm7 G
Oh, the wind and rain
Am7 C
He strung his fiddle bow with her long yellow hair
Dm7 C F G
Crying, oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Verse 9]
F C
And he made a little fiddle of her little breast bone
Dm7 G
Oh, the wind and rain
Am7 C
He made a little fiddle of her little breast bone
Dm7 C F G
Crying, oh, the dreadful wind and rain
[Verse 10]
F C
But the only tune that the fiddle would play
Dm7 G
Was 'Oh the Wind and Rain'
Am7 C
The only tune that the fiddle would play
Dm7 C F G
Was 'Oh, the Dreadful Wind and Rain'
