Released: 2017[Verse 1]
G C G Em
How oft do my thoughts in their fancy take flight
D A D
To the home of my childhood away,
G C G Em
To the days when each patriot's vision seem'd bright
D A D
Ere I dreamed that those joys should decay.
D7 G Em
When my heart was as light as the wild winds that blow
G Em D7
Down the mardyke through each elm tree,
G D7 C G
Where we sported and play'd 'neath the green leafy shade
D7 G
On the banks of my own lovely Lee.
[Verse 2]
G C G Em
And then in the springtime of laughterr and song
D A D
Can I ever forget the sweet hours?
G C G Em
With the friends of my youth as we rambled along
D A D
'mongst the green mossy banks and wild flowers.
D7 G Em
Then too, when the evening sun's sinking to rest
G Em D7
Sheds its golden light over the sea
G D7 C G
The maid with her lover the wild daisies pressed
D7 G
On the banks of my own lovely Lee
G D7 C G
The maid with her lover the wild daisies pressed
D7 G
On the banks of my own lovely Lee
