Blackthorn

[Dm]So many men think that I am theirs

When I sit with [Dm]them, when I drink with them.

[Dm]Nothing compares to all that was shared

Between you and [Dm]I, between you and I.

 

[Gm]Snow [Am]falls on the [Dm]mountain of [C]Sliabh Uí [Dm]Fhloinn,

And my [Gm]love is [Am]like [Dm]sloe-blo[C]ssom on the [Dm]blackthorn.

 

[Dm]So many men reach for the highest branch

To find the bitter [Dm]fruit, to find the bitter fruit,

When [Dm]close within reach of the hand lies the sweetest berry

On the lowest [Dm]branch, on the lowest branch.

 

[Gm]Snow [Am]falls on the [Dm]mountain of [C]Sliabh Uí [Dm]Fhloinn,

And my [Gm]love is [Am]like [Dm]sloe-blo[C]ssom on the [Dm]blackthorn.
