Bloody hell, that's nowhere near where I placed those chords. You can't edit these posts, can you? I'll copy and paste it from a Word Document, see if that's any better.

The Hills of Greenmore

C                         G                            D
One fine winter's morn my horn I did blow
          C                     D                                  G
To the green fields of Keady for hours we did go
      C                   G                   C          G
We gathered our dogs and we circled around
D                                     G                                        D
For none loves the sport better than the boys in the dell.

And when we arrived they were all standing there
We set off for the fields, boys, in search of a hare
We didn't get far till someone gave the cheer
Over high hills and valleys the sweet puss did steer

As we flew o'er the hills, 'twas a beautiful sight
There was dogs black and yellow, there was dogs black and white
As she took the black bank for to try them once more
Oh, it was her last look o'er the hills of Greenmore.

In a field of wheat stubble this pussy did lie
And Rory and Charmer they did pass her by
And there where we stood at the top of the brae
We heard the last words that this sweet puss did say:

"No more o'er the green fields of Keady I'll roam
Nor trip through the fields, boys, in sport and in fun
For hear the long horn that Joe Turner does play
I'll go home to my den by the clear light of day."

You may blame ol' MacMahon for killing the hare
For he's at his ol' capers this many's a year
On Saturday and Sunday he never gives o'er
With a pack of strange dogs round the hills of Greenmore.
