[Verse 1]
Bb F7
In Dublin Town
Bb
where I did dwell
F7
A butcher boy
Bb
Iloved so well,
Gm
He courted me
Cm
my life away
F7
And now with me,
Bb
he will not stay.
[Chorus]
F7
I wish I wish
Bb
But I wish in vain
F7
I wish I was
Bb
A maid again?
Gm
But a maid again
Cm
I ne'er can be
F7
Till apples grow
Bb
On an ivy tree.
[Verse 2]
F7
She went upstairs
Bb
To go to bed
F7
And calling to
Bb
Her mother said
Gm
Bring me a chair
Cm
Till I sit down
F7
And a pen and ink
Bb
Till I write down
[Chorus]
F7
I wish I wish
Bb
But I wish in vain
F7
I wish I was
Bb
A maid again?
Gm
But a maid again
Cm
I ne'er can be
F7
Till apples grow
Bb
On an ivy tree
[Verse 3]
F7
He went upstairs
Bb
And the door he broke
F7
And found her hanging
Bb
From her rope
Gm
He took his knife
Cm
And cut her down
F7
And in her pocket
Bb
These words he found:
[Verse 4]
F7
oh, make my grave
Bb
Large, wide and deep
F7
Put a marble stone
Bb
At my head and feet
Gm
And in the middle
Cm
A turtle dove
F7
So the world may know
Bb
I died of love
