Guitar chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Verse:
Am Am
Last night as I lay dreaming
Am Am
Of the pleasant days gone by
Am
My mind being bent on rambling to Ireland I did fly
Am
I stepped on board a vision
And followed it with a will
'Til I gladly came to anchor
At the Cross of Spancil Hill
Am
And when our duty did commence, we all knelt down in prayer
In hopes for to be ready, to climb the Golden Stair
And when back home returning, we danced with right good will
G D
To Martin Moilen's music, at the Cross of Spancil Hill
Instrumental:
(Am G Am G Am G Em Am)
Am G D
It being on the twenty third of June, the day before the fair
Am G D
Sure Erin's sons and daughters, they all assembled there
Am G D
The young, the old, the stout and the bold, they came to sport and kill
Am Em D
What a curious combination, at the Fair of Spancil Hill
Am G D
So I paid a flying visit, to my first and only love
Am G D
She's as pure as any lily, and as gentle as a dove
Am G D
She threw her arms around me, saying Mike I love you still
Am Em D
And she's Mack the Ranger's daughter, and the Pride of Spancil Hill

It being a Sabbath morning, I thought I heard a bell
D A F#m G
O'er hills and vallies sounded, in notes that seemed to tell
D A F#m D
Of the Joyous King of Angels, his Choicest Blessings spill

On that Glorious spot of Nature, the Cross of Spancil Hill
