INTRO: C
It's been ten years and [F]three since I [C]first went to sea
Since I've [F]sailed from old [C]Ireland and [G]home
But those [C]hills lush and [F]green were a [C]part of my dream
When I [F]dreamed of my [G]Colleen Ma[C]lone
On the day I re[F]turned to my [C]sorrow I learned
That the [F]angels had [C]called her a[G]way
To a [C]grave on a [F]hill over[C]looking the mill
That's the [F]place where she's [G]sleeping to[C]day
CHORUS:
As the [G]soft breezes blow, through the [F]meadow I [C]go
Past the [F]mill with the [C]moss covered [G]stone
Up the pathway I climb, through the [F]woods and the [C]vines
To [F]be with my [G]Colleen Ma[C]lone
She was faithful each [F]day as I [C]sailed far away
There was [F]no one but [C]me that she [G]loved
And I re[C]member those [F]eyes, soft and [C]blue as the skies
And her [F]heart was as [G]pure as a [C]dove
CHORUS:
As the [G]soft breezes blow, through the [F]meadow I [C]go
Past the [F]mill with the [C]moss covered [G]stone
Up the pathway I climb, through the [F]woods and the [C]vines
To [F]be with my [G]Colleen Ma[C]lone
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C G C F C F G C
All the years of my [F]life I will [C]not take a wife
I will [F]live in this [C]valley a[G]lone
Planting [C]flowers a[F]round in the [C]soft gentle ground
That's [F]holding my [G]Colleen Ma[C]lone
CHORUS:
As the [G]soft breezes blow, through the [F]meadow I [C]go
Past the [F]mill with the [C]moss covered [G]stone
