However, the chorus is not given chords here either (it's a PDF file). Have to wait for some of the UKers or Irish to post. I think I'm beat. Unless you know where I can find an mp3.

Verse 1
[G]At the setting of the[C] sun
When my [D]long day's work is[G] done
I went out along the [C]sea shore for a walk
And I [Em]being all [C]alone
I sat [G]down upon a[C] stone
To[G] gaze upon the[D] streets of[G] New York

Cannot yet find chords for the chorus, (Sorry, have never heard the song.) The chords given are from the Steeleye Span version which is attributed as traditional.

Dervish and Boys of the Lough play it.
