Fiddler's Green – The Old Dungarvan Oak chords

[Verse 1]
G                  CAs I walked out one morning, going to Dungarvan Fair
       G              DI spied a pretty maiden, with the sunlight in her hair
G                 CHer way was so delightful, her voice rang like a bell
    G        D     GAnd as I over-took her, I asked if she was well

[Chorus]
D                         G  CLay down your woollen shawl my love, I swear it is no joke
G          D GAnd I'll tell to you the story of The Old Dungarvan Oak

[Verse 2]
G                 CAs we approached Dungarvan, The girl at me did stare
       G                             DAnd she asked me why I raised my hat, to a tree so old and bare
G                      CSo I told her of the legend, if the tree should e'er come down
      G         D    GThere'd be a great disaster, And Dungarvan would be drowned

[Chorus]
D                         G  CLay down your woollen shawl my love, I swear it is no joke
G          D GAnd I'll tell to you the story of The Old Dungarvan Oak

[Verse 3]
G               CThen she started laughing, my face grew very red
             G                         DAnd she said that only fools believed, what old legends said
G                     CHer laughter was contagious, for the truth to you I'll tell
                 G           D  GBy the time I reached the market place, I began to laugh as well

[Chorus]
D                         G  CLay down your woollen shawl my love, I swear it is no joke
G          D GAnd I'll tell to you the story of The Old Dungarvan Oak

[Verse 4]
G                      CAs I sit here by my fireside, it’s the autumn of my life
    G                            DAnd the lovely girl I met that day, Is now my darling wife
G                    COh I have a lovely daughter, and a son to push my yoke
    G                D  GAnd all because I raised my hat, To the Old Dungarvan Oak

[Chorus]
D                         G  CLay down your woollen shawl my love, I swear it is no joke
G          D GAnd I'll tell to you the story of The Old Dungarvan Oak
