This is a song from the Dubliners.
This is the first song that i ve submitted and I have gotten so many.
II m not too sure of the words and I am only transcribing from memory as I dont have the song
on CD but Hey It works for me....
I Loved the Ground You Walk Upon.
Chords ;
...........( bass)......................................
Oh I Love the ground She walked upon and the air she would softly breathe
..........( bass)................................
The Feather touch of her gentle lips. That only a fool could leave.
..........................
That only a Fool Could Leave.
....................
But we tasted forbidden wine
...............(..bass) ......
Though I loved the ground she walked upon .
..........................
I could never have made her mine
The Swallows Fly all along the canal and I watch with a heavy heart.
In Dizzy spins they dive and wheel
touch wings and then depart.
Touch wings and then depart.
As the summer fades away.
Though I loved the ground she walked upon
I knew that I could not stay.
The Swallow is a summer child and she flies before the cold.
Though I loved the ground she walked upon
She was not mine to hold.
She was not mine to hold.
But it was easy to pretend.
Though I loved the ground She walked upon.
A Summer has to end
A summer has to end..
From Bob / Dublin/ Ireland...
