The Shores of the Swilly
- Phil Coulter
[G] [C] [G] [C] [Em] [Am] [G] [D] [G]
By the [G]shores of the [C]Swilly, two [G]children at [C]play
The [Em]king of the [Am]castle, the [G]queen of the [D]may

Where the [Em]sun would keep [Am]shining, the [G]day [D]never [G]end
By the [G]shores of the [C]Swilly, now with [G]kids of our [C]own
[Em]Another year [Am]over, and [G]see how they've [D]grown

Till I [Em]see you next [Am]summer; God [G]keep [D]you from [G]harm
And if [Em]I was a [C]flier who [G]crashed now and [C]then,
she would [Em]put me [C]together and [G]fly me a[D]gain.

By the [G]shores of the [C]Swilly, with an [G]aching in[C]side
I'll [Em]watch as her [Am]body is [G]raised from the [D]tide...
Her [G]life has been [C]taken, and I'll [G]never know w[C]hy
but I [Em]feel in that [Am]moment, a [G]part [D]of me [G]died...
