Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
The Mountains Of Pomeroy
| D | Bm | G |
The | dawn was breaking | bright and | fair, |
| D | Bm | Em |
When a | maid she bound her | goIden | hair, |
| D | A7 | D |
With a | blithe glance | in her | eye; -D |
| Bm | Em | D |
For, who | beyond the | gay green- | wood, |
| Em | G | A7 |
Was awaiting | her with | joy, | |
| D | Em | G |
Oh, | who but her gallant | Renar | dine, |
| D | A7 | D |
In the | mountains | of Pome | roy. |
Chorus
| D | Bm | G |
An | outlawed man in a | land for | lorn, |
| D | Bm | Em | A7 |
He | scorned to | turn and | fly, | |
| D | Bm | G |
But | kept the cause of | freedom | safe |
| D | A7 | D |
Up | on the | mountains | high.-G-D-A7 |
| D | Bm | G |
Full | oft, full oft in the | dawning | hour, |
| D | Bm | Em | A7 |
Full | oft in the | twilight | brown | |
| D | Bm | Em |
He | met the maid in the | woodland | bow'r, |
| D | A7 | D |
Where the | stream comes | foaming | down -D |
| Bm | Em | D |
For they were | faithful | and in | love |
| Em | G | A7 |
No wars could | e'er des | troy. | |
| D | Em | G |
No | tyrant's chains found | Renar | dine, |
| D | A7 | D |
In the | mountains | of Pome | roy. -G-D-A7 |
| D | Bm | G |
"Dear | love," she said, "l'm | so a | fraid, |
| D | Bm | Em | A7 |
For the | foeman's | force and | you | |
| D | Bm | Em |
They've | tracked you in the | lowland | plain |
| D | A7 | D |
And | all the | valleys | through. -D |
| Bm | Em | D |
My kinsmen | frown when | you are | named |
| Em | G | A7 |
Your life they | would des | troy | |
| D | Em | G |
'Be | ware,' they say, 'of | Renar | dine, |
| D | A7 | D |
In the | mountains | of Pome | roy." -G-D-A7 |

"Fear | not, fear not, sweet | heart," he | cried, |
| D | Bm | Em |
No | chain shall bind, what | e'er be | tide, |
| D | A7 | D |
The | arm that | would be | free! -D |
| Bm | Em | D |
Oh, leave your | cruel | kin and | come, |
| Em | G | A7 |
When the lark is | in the | sky | . |
| D | Em | G |
It's | with my live I'll | guard you | , |
| D | A7 | D |
In the | mountains | of Pome | roy." -G-D-A7 |
| D | Bm | G |
Well the | dawn it broke, she | rose and | fled |
| D | Bm | Em | A7 |
From | her cruel | kin and | home; | |
| D | Bm | Em |
All | full of love she's | down the | glen |
| D | A7 | D |
And | up the | mountain | side -D |
| Bm | Em | D |
But the mist came | down and the | tempest | roared, |
| Em | G | A7 |
And did all a | round des | troy; | |
| D | Em | G |
And a | pale, drowned bride met | Renar | dine, |
| D | A7 | D |
In the | mountains | of Pome | roy |
