The Rose of Tralee
William Mulchinock


    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
