       G5             C5           G5           C5
By the shores of the Swilly, two children at play
    E5          A5          G5            D5
The king of the castle, the queen of the may
     G5         C5            G5           C5
Just me and my sister, in a world of pretend
          E5             A5           G5   D5     G5
Where the sun would keep shining, the day never end


       G5             C5                G5           C5
By the shores of the Swilly, now with kids of our own
E5           A5        G5               D5
Another year over, and see how they've grown
          G5              C5           G5           C5
Then we'd watch the last sunset, and walk arm in arm
       E5           A5          G5    D5        G5
Till I see you next summer; God keep you from harm


       E5      C5         G5               C5
And if I was a flier who crashed now and then,
          E5     C5            G5       D5
she would put me together and fly me again.

       E5      C5         G5               C5
And if I was a flier who crashed now and then,
          E5     C5            G5       D5
she would put me together and fly me again.


       G5             C5               G5        C5
By the shores of the Swilly, with an aching inside
     E5           A5      G5               D5
I'll watch as her body is raised from the tide...
    G5             C5               G5           C5
Her life has been taken, and I'll never know why
      E5           A5        G5    D5     G5
but I feel in that moment, a part of me died...
