Tim O'Brien Colleen Monroe
Send "Colleen Monroe" Ringtone to Cell 
(Capo: 2nd Fret)
(D) (G) (D)
It's been ten years and three since I first went to sea
(G) (D) (A)
Since I sailed from old Ireland and home.
(D) (G) (D)
With those hills, lush and green where I parted my dream
(G) (A) (D)
When I dreamed of my Colleen Malone.
(D) (G) (D)
On the day I returned, to my sorrow I learned
(G) (D) (A)
That the angels had called her away.
(D) (G) (D)
To a grave on a hill overlooking the mill
(G) (A) (D)
That's the place where she's sleeping today.
(chorus)
(solo)
(A) (G) (D)
As the soft breezes flow through the meadow I go
(G) (A) (D)
Past the mill with the moss-covered stone
(A) (G) (D)
Up the pathway I climb through the woods and the vines
(G) (A) (D)
To be with my Colleen Malone
(D) (G) (D)
She was faithful each day as I sailed far away
(G) (D) (A)
There was no one but me that she loved.
(D) (G) (D)
And I remember those eyes, soft and blue as the skies
(G) (A) (D)
And her heart was as pure as a dove.
(chorus)
(solo)
(D) (G) (D)
All the years of my life I will not take a wife
(G) (D) (A)
I will live in the valley alone.
(D) (G) (D)
Planting flowers around in this soft gentle ground
(G) (A) (D)
That is holding my Colleen Malone.
(Chorus)
