[Intro 1]
[C][D][G][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
If [C]I were K[D]ing of I[G]reland
And all thing[Em]s at my[Am] will
I'd roam [A]through [D]all [F]cre[Em]ation
New [Am]fortunes [D]to find [G]still[Em]
And [Am]the fortune [D]I would
[F]seek [Em]the most
You [Am]all must u[D]nder[G]stand[Em]
Is to [Am]win the [D]heart of M[G]artha
The flower of [Em]sweet Strabane
[Am]

[Verse 2]
Her [C]cheeks they [D]are a [G]rosy red
Her hair a [Em]golden [Am]brown
And o'er her [D]snow white [F]shoulder[Em]s
It [Am]carel[D]essly falls [G]down[Em]
She [Am]is the f[D]airest l[F]assie[Em]
You'll [Am]find [D]throughout the [G]land[Em]
And my [Am]heart is [D]captiv[G]ated by
The flower of [Em]sweet Strabane
[Am]

[Verse 3]
If [C]I had you l[D]ovely M[G]artha
Away [Em]in In[Am]nisowen
Or in some [D]lonesome [F]valley[Em]
In the [Am]wild woods [D]of [G]Tyr[Em]one
I would [Am]use [A]my b[D]est en[F]deavour
[Em]And try [Am]to work [D]my plan[G][Em]
For to [Am]win the p[D]rize and f[G]east my eyes
On the flower of [Em]sweet Strabane

[Verse 4]
I'll go [D]o'er the [G]Lagan
By steam ships [Em]on the ti[Am]de
I'm sailing [D]for [F]Amerikay[Em]
[Am]Across the [D]ocean [G]wide[Em]
My [Am]boat is [D]bound for [F]Liverpool
[Em]Down by th[Am]e Isle o[D]f Man[G]
[Em]So farew[Am]ell and
God [D]bless [G]you Martha
My flower of [Em]sweet Strabane
