this is my first tab and if you ask me it sounds 100% right
C F
One evenin', for pleasure, I rambled to view
C G C
The fair fields all alone,
F
Down by the banks of Loch Erin,
G C
Where beauty and pleasure were known.
Am Em
I spied a fair maid at her labors,
Am G7
Which caused me to stay for a while,
C Em
And I thought of this goddess of beauty,
F C
Bloomin' bright star of Belle Isle.
Am Em
I humbled my self to her beauty.
F C
"fair maiden where do you belong?
Am Em
Are you from heaven descended,
F G7
A biding in Cupid's fair throne?"
Am Em
"young man i will tell you a secret.
Am Em
It's true I'm a maid that is poor
C Am
And to part from my vows and my promise,
F Fm
That's more then my heart can endure."
C Am
"there fore, I remain at my service,
Em G7
And go through all my hard ship and toil,
C Em Am
And wait for the lad that has left me
F G C
All alone on the banks of Belle Isle."

C Am Em
"Young maiden, I wish not to banter.
F C
'Tis true I come here in disguise.
Am Em Am
I came to fulfill our last promise,
Dm G7
And hope to give you a surprise."
Am G
"I've known you're a maid I love dearly
Am Em G7
And you've been in my heart all the while.
C Em Am
For me there is no other damsel
F G C
Than my blooming bright star of Belle Isle."
