Down by O’Connell street one summers evening
Hm A G A
I met a young woman, it was our first meeting
Hm A G A
Crossed over the bridge and down by the river
Hm A G A
By the strawberry beds I found that I knew her
G F#m E D G
She called me her darling man
G A G A
Hm A G A
We spend a few hours and we drank a few glasses
Hm A G A
We danced at the bar ignoring their glances
Hm A G A
Ev’ryone knew her name and they knew by my face
Hm A G A
With a beer in my hand and her arm round my waist
G F#m E D G
Calling me her darling man
G A G A
A D D4
The river runs deep, sweet music roll on
E D Hm E D D4
So the times are long gone, sweet music roll on
Hm A G A
Then came the morning and my boat was leaving
Hm A G A
She smiled as she said to me: “No point in grieving”
Hm A G A
Ev’ryonce in a while when I hear music playing
Hm A G A
I remember her smile and I hear her voice saying:
G F#m E D G
Calling me her darling man
G A G A
A D D4
The river runs deep, sweet music roll on
E D Hm E D D4
So the times are long gone, sweet music roll on
