[VERSE]
N.C.
As I [C]walked the [G]road[C] from Kille[G]shandra,[F] weary, [G]I sat [C]down
For it's twelve long [G]miles a[Am]round the [G]lake[F] to get to Cavan Town [G]
Though [C]Oughter [G]and the [Am]road I [G]go, [F]once seemed beyond compare
Now I [C]curse the time[G] it [C]takes to [G]reach[F] my Cavan [G]girl, so f[C]air
[VERSE]
The Autumn [G]shades[C] are on the [G]leaves,[F] the trees will [G]soon be [C]bare
Each redcoat [G]leaf a[Am]round me [G]seems[F] the colour of her hair [G]
My [C]gaze re[G]treats, de[Am]fies my [G]feet,[F] and once again I sigh
As the [C]broken [G]pool of [C]sky re[G]minds,[F] the colour [G]of her [C]eyes
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [G] [C] [G] [F] [C]
[VERSE]
At the Cavan [G]cross[C] each Sunday [G]morning,[F] where she [G]can be [C]found
And she seems to [G]have the [Am]eye of [G]every [F]boy in Cavan Town [G]
If my[C] luck will [G]hold, I'll [Am]have the [G]golden [F]summer of her smile
And to [C]break the [G]hearts[C] of Cavan [G]men,[F] she'll talk to [G]me a[C]while
[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE]
So, next [C]Sunday [G]evening [C]finds me [G]homeward,[F] Kille[G]shandra [C]bound
To work the [G]week 'til [Am]I re[G]turn to [F]court in Cavan Town [G]
When [C]asked if [G]she would [Am]be my [G]bride,[F] at least she'd not said 'No'
So next [C]Sunday [G]morning[C] I'll rouse my[G]self[F] and back to [G]her, I'll [C]go
