Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]In a land [F]of O'Cahan where
bleak [C]mountains rise
O'er those brown ridgy tops now
the [F]dusky clouds [C]fly[G][C]
Deep sunk in a valley a
[F]wild flower did [G]grow
And her [C]name [F]was
Finvola, the Gem of the [C]Roe

[Verse 2]
For [C]the Isles [F]of Abunde ap
[G]peared [C]to out view
A youth clad in tartan,
it's [F]strange but it's [G]true
[C]With a star on his breast and
un[F]strung was his [G]bow
And [C]he sighed [F]for
[G]Finvola the Gem of the [C]Roe

[Verse 3]
[C]The Gem of the Roe, the Gem of the [G]Roe
And [C]he sighed [F]for Finvola
[G]The Gem of the [C]Roe

[Verse 4]
To the [C]grey shores of [F]Alba his
[G]bride [C]he did bear
But short were [G]the fond years
[C]these lov[F]ers did sha[G]re
For [C]thrice on the [F]hillside the
Banshee cried [G]low
Twas [C]the death [F]of
[G]Finvola the Gem of the [C]Roe

[Verse 5]
The [C]Gem of the Roe, the Gem of the [G]Roe
Twas the [C]death [F]of Finvola
The [G]Gem of the [C]Roe

[Verse 6]
No [C]more up [F]the streamlet
[C]her maidens will hie
For wan the pale cheek and
be[F]dimmed the blue [G]eye
In [C]si lent affliction
[F]our sorrows will [G]flow
Since [C]gone is Finvola the Gem of the [F]Roe

[Verse 7]
The Gem of the Roe, the [G]Gem of the Roe
Since gone is Finvola
The Gem of the Roe
