Bonnie Portmore

	  		verse 1: 
   

  G          Am         C             Am 
O Bonnie Portmore, I am sorry to have seen 

     G         Am               C        G 
Such woeful destruction of your ornament tree 

       Am            Bm          Am            C 
For it stood on your shore for many's the long day 

         Am              Bm             Am        D 
Till the long boats from Antrim came to float it away  



verse 2: 


G            Am        C               Am 
O Bonnie Portmore, you shine where you stand 

        G            Am          C            G 
And the more I think on you, the more I think long 

   Am        Bm        Am         C 
If I had you now, as I had once before 

        Am           Bm                Am           D 
All the lords in old England would not purchase Portmore 




verse 3: 

        G            Am              C        Am 
All the birds in the forest, they do bitterly weep 

          G              Am         C              G 
Sighing, "Where shall we shelter, o where shall we sleep?" 

        Am          Bm            Am      C 
For the oak and the ash, they are all cut down 

        Am              Bm                Am          D 
And the walls of Bonnie Portmore they are down to the ground 




verse 4: 
  
G            Am        C               Am 
O Bonnie Portmore, you shine where you stand 

        G            Am          C            G 
And the more I think on you, the more I think long 

   Am        Bm        Am         C 
If I had you now, as I had once before 

        Am           Bm                Am           D 
All the lords in old England would not purchase Portmore.
