Does anyone sing this one ? if so can you put chords to it for me please._______________________________________________________

Through lonely Allen bog, I heard the lark above

From Ballinure to Knockavardagh call

And the thrush and blackbirds trill

Ballintogher and Springhill

It's so lovely 'round the hills of Killenaule

Alone Slievenamon rules over all

That Mullinahone in song did recall

It's nice in Drangan and Cloneen

St. Johnston town and Farnaleen

But it's lovely 'round the hills of Killenaule


On the lonely Dunguib road, I heard a banjo play

The melody sent magic through my soul

And I heard a love song rare

Fill the rich Rathmoley air

It's so lovely 'round the hills of Killenaule

Alone Slievenamon rules over all

Who's valleys Ballingarry did enthrall

It's nice in Fethard and Moyglass

And Coolmore of Green blue grass

But it's lovely 'round the hills of Killenaule


On Ballynonty's slopes, I heard the pheasant call

In Lanespark, the hare bounds best of all

And through Cooldines lowly gorse

Ran the foxhound and the horse

It's so lovely 'round the hills of Killenaule

Alone Slievenamon rules over all

From Killusty down to Derrynaflan

It's nice in Grange and Gortnahoe

Glengoole and Ballysloe

But it's lovely 'round the hills of Killenaule

The chord request was made in 2007. However it's a nice song, and somebody new might want to play it. I found a youtube video of it, and while I don't have the time to notate it and assign chords, it helps to know that the video is in the in key of D, and the first chords are D and Em, then (I think) back to D.

It should be easy to sound out.

Double-clicking on the OP' name shows that Shaneo last posted in 2008 and is unlikely to see that anyone has posted the chords here.

However, I think the song is rather jolly, and I'd work it up, except that my computer is in the shop.

It can be heard on YouTube:
