Blackbird Of Sweet Avondale

	C	Em	C	Em	Am
In the	fair bay of	Dublin, while	careless	ly	strolling

	C	Am	Em	Am
I	sat myself	down near a	clear crystal	Stream

	C	Am	Em	Am
Re	clined on the	beach, as the	wild waves were	rolling

	C	Em	C	G	C
In	sorrow con	doning, I	heard a	fair	maid

	C	Em	C	Em	Am
Her	hopes changed to	mourning, that	once were	so	glorious

	C	Am	Em	Am
I	stood in a	mazement to	hear her sad	tale

	C	Am	Em	Am
Her	heartstrings were	torn in wild	ascent so	glorious

	C	Em	C	G	C
Saying,	where is my	Blackbird of	sweet	Avon	dale.

	C	Em	C	Em	Am
"In the	fair counties	Kerry, through	Cork, and	Tip	perary,

	C	Am	Em	Am
The	rights of Old	Ireland, my	Blackbird did	sing

	C	Am	Em	Am
But	woe to the	hour, with the	dark lights in	Derry

	C	Em	C	G	C
When	he from my	arms, to	Dublin	took	way"

	C	Em	C	Em	Am
"Oh,	Heaven, give	ear to	my	suppli	cation

	C	Am	Em	Am
And	strengthen the	bold sons of	Old Granu	aile

	C	Am	Em	Am
And	promise that my	country will	soon be a	nation

	C	Em	C	G	C
And	bring back my	Blackbird to	sweet	Avon	dale"

	C	Em	C	Em	Am
"Oh,	where in my	country, a	wake	from your	slumbers

	C	Am	Em	Am
And	bring back my	Blackbird, so	dear unto	me

	C	Am	Em	Am
And let	everyone	know, by the	strength of your	numbers

	C	Em	C	G	C
That	we, as a	nation, would	like to	be	free

Blackbird Of Sweet Avondale
