[Verse]~
  E      B
I set my sails

       E                          B
And betrothed,..!! the wind will guide me

        E                    B
To draw upon the North East shore

                  Gb
Of the emerald island

  E    B
County Down

       E    B
Where Bangor town

    E              B
Is now and forever calling

     E               B
And recalls me by the shore

            Gb
At peace,..!! in Silence


[Chorus]~
E                 Gb        B
I sit down by the water and I

Gb
Glory at my host

       Abm           Gb        E
Let the rivers roll over like lovers

                Gb         B
Oh brothers and sisters and I

E
Good lord you know we need it most

Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild

[Verse]~
    E     B
Let joys abound

         E              B
Back in Fealty’s bar on High Street

            E               B            Gb
Where we’ll raise a glass to all a fair tomorrow

E          B
We’ll be found

E           B
Amidst the sound

       E             B
Of our laughter ever roaring

       E                   B
As we drink our fill where once

               Gb
We drowned our sorrows


[Chorus]~
E                 Gb        B
I sit down by the water and I

[Verse]~
          E      B
And where Jerry wails

        E                 B
Writing signs outside the Helmsman

E                B            Gb
Beware you passers by what lays inside there

      E     B
Oh he testified

   E     B
And Julie cried

   E              B
Reminiscing on her story

  E                B           Gb
Surrounded once by glory now by violence


[Chorus]~
E                 Gb        B
I sit down by the water and I

Gb
Glory at my host

       Abm           Gb        E
Let the rivers roll over like lovers

                Gb         B
Oh brothers and sisters and I

E
Good lord you know we need it most

   Gb                          B         E
Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild

In Bangor town
