[B] [F#] [B] [F#]

[VERSE 1]
There's a [B]spot[F#] in old Tir[B]connel, there's a wee house[B7] in the [E]glen[G#7]
Where d[C#m]welt[F#7] an Irish [B]colleen,[G#7] who [C#]charmed[C#7] the hearts of [F#]men
She was [B]winsome[F#] , fair and [B]hearty, shy and graceful[B7] as the [E]fawn[G#7] ,
Neighbours [C#m]loved[F#7] the widows [B]daughter[G#m] , happy, [C#m]laughing [F#]Noreen [B]Bawn [F#]

[VERSE 2]
Then one [B]day[F#] there came a [B]letter, with her passage [B7]paid to [E]go [G#7]
To the [C#m]land[F#7] where the Mi[B]ssouri[G#7] and the [C#]Miss[C#7]issippi [F#]flow
So she [B]said[F#] good-bye to [B]Erin, and next mor[B7]ning at the [E]dawn[G#7]
[C#m] [F#7] [B] [G#m] [C#m] [F#] [B] [G] (key change)
A poor broken hearted mother bid farewell to Noreen Bawn

[VERSE 3]
Many [C]yea[G]rs that Mother [C]waited, till one morning[C7] at the [F]door[A7]
Stood a [Dm]gorgeous[G7] looking [C]lady,[A7] all [D]grand[D7] the clothes she [G]wore
Saying [C]Mother[G] don't you [C]know me, sure I've only[C7] got a [F]cold[A7]
[Dm] [G7] [C] [Am] [Dm] [G] [C] [G#] (key change)
But the purple spots upon her cheeks, the tragic story told

[VERSE 4]
There's a [C#]graveyard[G#] in Tir[C#]connel, where the blossoms[C#7] sadly [F#]wave [A#7]
There's a [D#m]broken [G#7]hearted [C#]Mother,[A#7] kneeling [D#]on a l[D#7]onely [G#]grave
Saying my [C#]Noreen[G#] you are [C#]calling, its long years[C#7] since you've [F#]gone [A#7]
[D#m] [G#7] [C#] [A#m] (N.C.) [C#] [A] [B] [C#]
It was the curse of emigration, that laid you low my Noreen Bawn
