.    D                     G              D
 The pale moon was rising above the green mountains
.    D                   G            A
 The sun was declining beneath a blue sea
.       D                           G            D
 When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountains
.     A             D         A          D
 That stands in the beautiful Vale of Tralee
 
 
[Chorus]
.        Bm                     G           F#
 She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
.     Bm           D       Em            Bm   A7
 Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me-e
.   D                          G         D
 Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning
.     A            D         A          D
 That made me love Mary, the rose of Tralee

.    D                            G            D
 The cool shades of evening their mantles were spreading
.    D                     G         A
 And Mary all smiling said listening to me
.    D                           G             D
 The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding
.     A         D            A          D
 When I won the heart of the rose of Tralee
 
 
[Chorus]
.        Bm                     G           F#
 She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
.     Bm           D       Em            Bm   A7
 Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me-e
.   D                          G         D
 Oh no, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning
.     A            D         A          D
 That made me love Mary, the rose of Tralee
