NANCY SPAIN
G / /
Of all the stars that ever shone
C G D /
Not one does twinkle like your pale blue eyes
C D G /
Like golden corn at harvest time your hair
G /
Sailing in my boat the wind
C G D /
Gently blows and fills my sail
C D G /
Your sweet-scented breath is everywhere
G /
Daylight peeping through the curtain
C G D /
Of the passing night time is your smile
C D G /
And the sun in the sky is like your laugh
/ /
Come back to me my Nancy
C G D /
Linger for just a little while
C D G /
Since you left these shores I've known no peace nor joy
CHORUS
G / C D /
No matter where I wander I'm still haunted by your name
C D G /
The portrait of your beauty stays the same
/ / C
Standing by the ocean wondering where you've gone,
G D /
If you'll return again
C D G /
Where is the ring I gave to Nancy Spain
G / C G
On the day in Spring when snows start to melt
D /
And streams to flow
C D G /
With the birds I'll sing this song
G /
Then in the while I'll wander
C G D /
Down by bluebell grove where wild flowers grow
C D G
And I'll hope that lovely Nancy will return

RED RIVER VALLEY CAPO 3
SONG FOR IRELAND Capo 2
D / A /
Walking all the day
Em Bm G A D /
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
D / A /
silver winged they fly,
Em Bm G A D /
they know the call of freedom in their breasts,
G / / A /
saw Black Head against the sky
D Bm G D A /
Where twisted rocks they run down to the sea
G / D / /
Living on your Western shore,
Bm D / / A /
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more,
G / D A /
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
Em Bm G D
And sang a song for Ireland
Drinking all the day,
In old pubs where fiddlers love to play,
Saw one touch the bow,
He played a reel which seemed so grand and gay,
stood on Dingle Beach and cast,
In wild foam we found Atlantic bass,
Living on your Western shore,
Saw summer sunset, asked for more,
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
And sang a song for Ireland
Talking all the day,
With true friends who try to make you stay,
Telling jokes and news,
And singing songs to pass the night away,
We watched the Galway salmon run,
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun,
Living on your Western shore,
Saw summer sunset, I asked for more,
I stood by your Atlantic Sea,
And I sang a song for Ireland
Dreaming in the night,
I saw a land where no one had to fight,
waking in your dawn,
I saw you crying in the morning light,
Sleeping where the falcons fly,
They twist and turn all in your air-blue sky,
Living on your western shore,
Saw summer sunset, asked for more,
I stood by your Atlantic sea,
And sang a song for Ireland

RIDE ON
4 Beats Down Down up Down up Down up
Em / C /
True you ride the finest horse I’ve ever seen
D / Em /
Standing 16’. 1” or 2”. With eyes wild and green
Em /
You ride the horse so well
C /
Hands light to the touch
D` / Em /
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
CHORUS :
Em / C /
Ride on see you
D / Em /
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Em / C /
Ride on see you
D / Em /
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Em /
When you ride into the night
C /
Without a trace behind
D / Em /
Run your claw along my gut one last time
Em /
I turn to face an empty space
C /
Where you used to lie
D /
And look for the spark that lights the night
Em /
Through the teardrop in my eye.
