;Cavan Girl ;Thom Moore . C G Am Em F G C As I walk the road from Killashandra, weary I sit down . C G Am Em For it's twelve long miles around the lake . F Em F to get to Cavan town . C G Am Em Though Oughter and the road I go . F Em F once seemed beyond compare . C G Am Em F G C Now I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl so fair . C G Am Em F G C The autumn shades are on the leaves, the trees will soon be bare . C G Am Em F Em F Each red-gold leaf around me seems the colour of her hair . C G Am Em F Em F My gaze retreats to find my feet and once again I sigh . C G Am Em F G C For the broken pools of sky remind me of the colour of her eyes [instrumental] . C G Am Em F G C At the Cavan Cross each Sunday morning there she can be found . C G Am Em F Em F And she seems to have the eye of every boy in Cavan town . C G Am Em F Em F If my luck will hold I'll have the golden summer of her smile . C G Am Em F G C And to break the hearts of Cavan men, she'll talk to me a while .C G Am Em F G C Sunday evening finds me homeward - Killashandra bound . C G Am Em F Em F To work the week, till I return and court in Cavan town . C G Am Em F Em F When asked if she would be my bride at least she'd not said "no" . C G Am Em F G C So next Sunday morning, rouse myself, and back to her I'll go [instrumental & repeat verse 1]
