Maggie - Irish Traditional (originally "Nora")


D                D7           G
The violets were scenting the woods, Maggie

   D                          A    A7
Displaying their charm to the bee

       D            D7         G    Em
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie

    D            A7         D 
And you said you loved only me



    G                                   D   
The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, Maggie

  A          E7          A7
A robin sang loud from a tree

       D            D7         G
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie

    D            A7         D
And you said you loved only me




The golden-robed daffodils shone, Maggie

And danced in the breeze on the lea

When I first said I loved only you, Maggie

And you said you loved only me




The trees, birds, and bees sang a song, Maggie

Of happier transports to be

When I first said I loved only you, Maggie

And you said you loved only me

(Repeat last verse)
