[Intro]
D  Em   G   D

[Verse]
D       Em           G               D
O Bonny Portmore you shine where you stand
D                    Em                 
And the more I think of you, 
    G             D
The more I think long
     G        D        Em        Bm
If I have you now as I have once before
        G            D
All the Lords of Old England 
          Em           A
Would not purchase Portmore.

[Verse]
D       Em             G       D
O Bonny Portmore I am sorry to see
D                Em     
Such a woeful destruction 
        G        D
Of your ornament tree
       G              D    
For it stood on your shore 
    Em              Bm
For many’s the long day
         G               D
’Til the long boats from Antrim 
        Em        A
Came to float it away.

[Verse]
        D            Em          G        D
All the birds in the forest they bitterly weep
D                      Em     
Saying “where shall we shelter 
    G              D
And where shall we sleep?”
        G           D       
For the Oak and the Ash
         Em         Bm
They are all cutten down
        G                   D
And the walls of Bonny Portmore 
    Em           A
Are down to the ground.
