Intro: G  C  G  Em  G  D  G C D C D 

verse 1: 
     G     C        G             Em 
When I was nine, in harvest time  
  G           D       G   C D C D 
I crossed the orchard wall  
    Em       D              C      G 
The moon was bright and the apples ripe  
 Em      G          C     D 
Upon the ground did fall 
   Em         D            C            G 
We filled our sacks and we made our way back 
       Em       G        C     D 
More adventures still to find  
      G      C           G          Em 
In an orchard 'neath the Comeraghs 
       G        D      G    C D C D 
In the sweet Dungarvan green 


verse 2: 
  G           C       G           Em 
I crossed the orchard wall again  
     G     D        G   C D C D 
When I was just thirteen 
   Em     D            C        G 
It was, I think, to be my first drink 
   Em    G      C    D 
Of cider and poitín 
    Em     D        C           G 
I remember well, it tasted like hell 
      Em        G              C    D 
And I hoped the pain would end soon 
      G      C           G          Em 
In an orchard 'neath the Comeraghs 
   G         D         G    C D C D 
In the sweet Dungarvan green 

  
verse 3: 
         G     C      G         Em   G 
And when I was twenty-one years old 
          D     G    C D C D7 
I married Annie there 
    Em    D       C       G 
The apple blossoms on the trees  
       Em     G      C    D 
Looked better in her hair 
    Em       D       C G 
And when the day was over 
   Em          G                 C     D 
We danced away right through the trees 
      G      C           G          Em 
In an orchard 'neath the Comeraghs 
       G        D      G    
In the sweet Dungarvan green
