          I couldn't find a version of this old Irish tune I used
          to play back in the day, so have just worked out these 
          chords for it, this version is for picking style
          more than strumming. Thanks to Lester Owen for the 
          corrections

                                 enjoy
                                     - if you like it, rate it -

             G     Gmaj9    Em                C  E  Am
      When first I saw the lovelight in your eyes
           D                                      G  D
      I thought the world held nought but joy for me

         G    Gmaj9    Em            C  E  Am
      I love you as I never loved before
              D                             G    D
      Since first I saw you on the village green
           G    Gmaj9      Em               C  E  Am
      Come to me e'er my dreams of love is o're
         C             G     Gmaj9  Em                  Bm
      I love you as I loved you,        when you were sweet
                    Am  D7       G   
      When you were sweet.... sixteen
