     G        D                G 
I'll walk the miles from Ballintoy 
   Em      D       Bm       C 
No shining moon to light my way 
 G         D              G

And the rope bridge where my love waits

The fishermen lie in their beds

The salmon spawn in Moyle's blue sea 
    G              D       G 
And you lie there upon the grass

And steal in soft under your coat

No better way to cheat the grave
