Molly Green

Em

Em                        D
His heart it fell for her darkened eyes
  Bm                                  Em
A night of fleeting passion changed a young mans life
    Em                 D
His arms held tight, a dream come true
    Bm                             Em
Sun shining on her skin as soft as morning dew
G              D
In his arms forever bound 
    Bm                       Em
The love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs.

Em                        D
Will you marry me? I will build a house
    Bm                                 Em
For all our dark eyed children and for you my wife
          Em               D
I've been saving so you'll soon see gold
        Bm                               Em
But for now this ring of wire is all the love I hold
     G                    D
I'll work my body till my bones turn brown
     Bm                           Em
Come away with me dear Molly from Dooley Downs.

Em                             D
She drew back her hand and she said I cannot
      Bm                    Em
For I love another man from Inverlock
    Em                    D
How handsome is he and he owns his own land
    Bm                           Em
And he can give me more than any ringer can
   G                               D
He holds back his tears though his heart still pounds
        Bm                       Em
For the love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs

Em                         D
The blade it sliced in the moonlit stream
        Bm                             Em
And the dingo gullies howling with the bloody screams
   Em                     D
He fell to his knees with blood stained hands
   Bm                             Em
If I can't have my darling Molly. no one can
G              D
In his arms forever bound
    Bm                       Em
The love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs

G                   D
Just a ringer and a heart that pounds
        Bm                       Em
For the love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs.

G   D   Bm    Em
