For [D]I have won the heart of one,
My [C]lovely Rose of [G]Clare.

As we [G]walked down by the river bank,
And [C]watched the Shannon [G]flow,
And [D]listened to the nightingale
Sing [G]songs for you and I.
And to [G]say farewell to all you true,
And [C]all you kind and [G]fair,
For [D]I have stolen the heart of one,
My [C]lovely Rose of [G]Clare.
