Nathan Carter - The Banks Of My Own Lovely Lee

      [Verse 1]
C            F                 C          Am
How oft do my thoughts in their fancy take flight
      G           D         G
To the home of my childhood away,
      C              F         C             Am
To the days when each patriot's vision seem'd bright
     G                  D              G
Ere I dreamed that those joys should decay.
                    G7           C              Am
When my heart was as light as the wild winds that blow
        C              Am        G7
Down the Mardyke through each elm tree,
        C           G7                    F           C
Where we sported and play'd 'neath the green leafy shade
      G7                     C
On the banks of my own lovely Lee.

[Verse 2]
C               F             C             Am
And then in the springtime of laughterr and song
      G           D         G
Can I ever forget the sweet hours?
      C              F         C             Am
With the friends of my youth as we rambled along
     G                  D              G
'Mongst the green mossy banks and wild flowers.
                 G7           C              Am
Then too, when the evening sun's sinking to rest
        C              Am        G7
Sheds its golden light over the sea
    C           G7               F       C
The maid with her lover the wild daisies pressed
      G7                     C
On the banks of my own lovely Lee
    C           G7               F       C
The maid with her lover the wild daisies pressed
      G7                     C
On the banks of my own lovely Lee
