Bonny Portmore Chords

[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.
