One (D)morning (A)fair I (G)took the (D)air
A(A)long the (A7)Portrush (D)strand –(G-A)
The (D)waves did (A)roar u(G)pon the (D)shore
And (A)washed the (A7)golden (D)sand -D
The (G)white cliffs rang as the (D)wee birds (A7)sang –A
All (G)nature (D)did a(A7)bound –A
When (D)a lass I (A)spied by the (G)water (D)side
The (A)pride of (A7)Portrush (D)town –G-D-A-A
Her (D)smiles as (A)bright as (G)the sun(D)light
That (A)sparkles (A7)on the (D)grass –(G-A)
Her (D)rosy (A)cheeks and (G)carriage (D)neat
A(A)dorned this (A7)comely (D)lass -D
Her (G)curling hair is (D)soft and (A7)fair -A
And it (G)gently (D)tumbles (A7)down -A
If (D)I were (A)king she'd (G)be my (D)queen
The (A)pride of (A7)Portrush (D)town –G-D-A-A

No (G)doctor's pills can (D)cure the (A7)ill -A
When (G)Cupid (D)comes a(A7)round -A
My (D)heart will (A)grieve if (G)I must (D)leave
The (A)pride of (A7)Portrush (D)town -D
Bridge: G-D-A7-A D-G-F#m-F#m G-D-A7-A D-G-A-A
Says (D)she you're (A)free to (G)walk with (D)me
But you (A)are a (A7)bold young (D)man –(G-A)
You're (D)roguish (A)ways might (G)me be(D)tray
As (A)you may (A7)under(D)stand -D
But (G)if you are true I'll (D)follow (A7)you -A
Wher(G)ever (D)you are (A7)bound -A
For (D)Cupid's (A)dart has (G)pierced the (D)heart
Of the (A)pride of (A7)Portrush (D)town –G-D-A-A
Then (D)hand in (A)hand we (G)walked the (D)strand
Down (A)by the (A7)raging (D)main –(G-A)
My (D)heart was (A)snared by her (G)beauty (D)rare
