[Verse 1]
A D
No more I stroll, no more I stroll
A E
Along the boreen
A D
I see the scarlet poppies play
A E A
Amid the corn green.
E D
No more beneath the hedge
A E
I watch the butterflies at play
A D
For my heart is filled with woe and woe
A D
Since Maggie went away.
[Verse 2]
A D
The sweet wild rose, the sweet wild rose
A E
That lov'd to see us there
A D
And seem'd to bid us hope, now droops
A E A
And tells me to despair.
E D
The linnet sings his song unheard
A E
Perched on a leafy spray
A D
Ah, my heart is filled with woe, with woe
A D
Since Maggie went away.
[Verse 3]
A D
The gentle flowers, the gentle flowers
A E
Their happy charm is fled
A D
And now they seem like blossoms strewn
A E A
Above the silent dead.
E D
They're symbols now of sorrow deep
A E
And life's swift sure decay
A D
Ah, my heart is filled with woe, with woe
A D
Since Maggie went away.
[Verse 4]
A D
The heartless sun, the heartless sun
A E
With splendour gilds the skies
A D
And mocks with smiling beams on a heart
A E A
That now can only sigh.
E D
Shine on bright sun, shine on, while I
A E
Could curse thy proud display
A D
Ah, my heart is filled with woe, with woe
A D
Since Maggie went away.
[Verse 5]
A D
Then welcome grief, then welcome grief
A E
Man's warm true-hearted friend
A D
For tho' all things be false, thou still art
A E A
Faithful to the end.
E D
And now I walk alone with thee
A E
Till life turns into clay
A D
Ah, my heart is filled with woe, with woe
A D
Since Maggie went away.
