[Verse 1]
By the [G]shores of [C]the Swilly, [G]two children at [C]play
The [G]king of the [Am]castle,
the [G]queen of [C]the may[D]
Just [G]me and my sis[C]ter,
in a [G]world of pre[C]tend
Where the [G]sun would keep shin[Am]ing,
the [G]day nev[D]er end
[G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]
By the [G]shores of [C]the Swilly,
now with [G]kids of our [C]own
[G]Another year [Am]over,
and [G]see how they've [C]grown[D]
Then we'd [G]watch the last sun[C]set,
and [G]walk arm in [C]arm
Till I [G]see you [Am]next summer; God
[G]keep [C]you [D]from har[G]m
And if [Em]I was a f[C]lier
[G]who crashed now and [C]then,
She would [Em]put me tog[C]ether and [G]fly me again.

[Verse 4]
And if I was [C]a flier [G]who crashed
now [C]and then,
She would [Em]put me to
[C]gether and [G]fly me [D]again.
By the [G]shores of [C]the Swilly,
with [G]an aching in[C]side
I'll [G]watch as her [Am]body is
[Cm]raised [G]from [C]the tide...[D]
[G]Her life has been [C]taken,
[G]and I'll never know [C]why
But I [G]feel in that mo[Am]ment, a [G]part [D]of me died...
