[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
'Twas [C]on a bright
[F]morning in [C]summer
As the skylarks sang loudly on [F]high
And [C]the sun it shone down
most [F]de [C]lightful
On all that reigns [G]under the sky
[C]

[Verse 2]
'Twas down by [F]the woodlands
I [C]wandered
Down mossy [G]green [C]slopes I did [F]slide
'Twas [C]there I beheld a fair [F]dam[C]sel
All alone by [G]the sweet Smir[C]la Side

[Verse 3]
Oh, my [C]eyes, they grew [F]dim in a mo[C]ment
As t'wards this fair maid I did [F]go
Saying [C]"sell me the cause
of your [F]troubles[C]
I am [G]anxiously longing to [C]know"
[G]Oh, she said

[Verse 4]
[C]"I [G]once cou[F]rted a you[C]ng man
But the ocean do now us divide
[F]Which lea[C]ves me to wander in [F]sorrow[C]
On the banks [G]of the sweet
Smir[C]la Side"

[Verse 5]
"Oh, [C]he was a [F]handsome young [C]fellow
So hearty, so light and so [F]free
And [C]now, when I think of my [F]darling[C]
More sorrow ad[G]vances on [C]me"

[Verse 6]
"Oh, [C]the fountains of [F]nature are [C]floating
And my heart it is sorry [F]annoyed
And [C]my mind it is constantly [F]aching[C]
On the banks of [G]the sweet
Smir[C]la Side"

[Verse 7]
"Oh, [C]that some fairy [F]gale
may enchant [C]him
And roll him again [F]o'er the tide
[C]Home, back again to his [F]Eileen[C]
On the banks of [G]the sweet Smir[C]la Side"[F]
