Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
-7 -8 -7 7 6 6 -5
One morning last July
-4 -5 6 6 6 -5 6 7 7 -7
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
-7 -8 -7 7 6 6 -5
And she smiled as she passed me by.
-4 -5 6 6 6 -5 6 7 7 -7
Oh she looked so sweet from her two bare feet
-7 -8 -7 7 6 6 -5
To the sheen of her nut brown hair
-4 -5 6 6 6 -5 6 7 7 -7
Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself
-7 -8 -7 7 6 6 6
To be sure I was really there.
Chorus:
-8 -9 -8 -8 -7 7 -7 -7 -7
And from Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
7 -7 -8 -7 7 6 6 -5
And from Galway to Dublin town
-4 -5 6 6 6 -5 6 7 7 -7
No maid I’ve seen like the brown cailín
7 -7 -8 -7 7 6 -5 -5 6
That I met in the County Down.
As she onward sped I shook my head
And I gazed with a feeling rare
And I said, says I, to a passerby
«Who’s the maid with the nut-brown hair?»
He smiled at me, and with pride says he,
«That’s the gem of Ireland’s crown.
She’s young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann
She’s the star of the County Down.»
Chorus
I’ve travelled a bit, but never was hit
Since my roving career began
But fair and square I surrendered there
To the charms of young Rose McCann.
I’d a heart to let and no tenant yet
Did I meet with in shawl or gown
But in she went and I asked no rent
From the star of the County Down.
Chorus
At the crossroads fair I’ll be surely there
And I’ll dress in my Sunday clothes
And I’ll try sheep’s eyes, and deludhering lies
On the heart of the nut-brown rose.
No pipe I’ll smoke, no horse I’ll yoke
Though with rust my plow turns brown
Till a smiling bride by my own fireside
Sits the star of the County Down.
Chorus
As an Irish folk song, it can be played a lot slower than in the
video.

Ti ćeš sutra ponovo da sviraš
pijanima u istom bircuzu.
Stavljaće ti novac među žice —
smejaćeš se, a skrivaćeš suzu…

Ujutro ćeš s taksistima kući,

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own

VERSE 4
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

They’re so hell-bent on giving,
walking a wire
Convinced it’s not living
if you stand outside the fire

7 6 7 -8 -8 7
From now un-til we die.
-6 -7 7 -7 -6
It’s the same old song
-6 -7 -7 7 7 7 -8 -6 -6
You’ve gotta be somewhere at sometime
-6 -7 7 -7 -6 -6 6-6 -6
And they’ll nev-e-r let yo-u fly
-6 -7 7 -7 -6
It’s like broken glass
-6 -7 7 7 7 7 -6 -6
You get cut before you see it
-6 7-7 -6 -9 -8
So open up your eyes
-8 -8 7 -9 -9
You’ve got desire
-8 -8 -8 -8
So let it out
-8 8 7 -9 -8
You’ve got the power
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9
Stand up and shout shout
-9 -9 -9 -9
Stand up and shout
-9 -9 7 -7 -6
You’ve got wings of steel
-6 -7 7 7 7 -8 -6 -6
But they never really move you
-7 7 -7 -6 -6 6-6 -6
You o-nl-y seem t-o crawl
-6 -7 7 -7 -7 -6
You’ve been nailed to the wheel
-7 7 7 7 7 7 -6
But never really turning
-6 7 7 -7 -7 9 9 -9
You know you’ve got to work it out
-8 -8 7 -9 -9
You’ve got desire
-8 -8 -8 -8
So let it out
-8 8 7 -9 -8
You’ve got the power
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9
Stand up and shout shout
-9 -9 -9 -9
Stand up and shout
-6 -7 -7 7 -7 -6
You are the strongest chain
-6 -7 7 7 7 7 -6 -6
And you’re not just some reflection
-7 7 -7 -6 -9 -9
So never hide again
-8 -8 7 -9 -9
You are the driver
-8 -8 -8 -8
You own the road
-8 8 7 -9-8 -8 -8 -8 -8
You are the fire go on explode
-8 -8 7 -9 -9
You’ve got desire
-8 -8 -8 -8
So let it out
-8 8 7 -9 -8
You’ve got the power
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9
Stand up and shout shout
-9 -9 -9 -9
Stand up and shout
