[Verse 1]
A        D       G
I can remember when
             D     G
you left Kilkenny
         D
And you told me,
 A7                D    n.c.
"I'll return next year"
         D        G
I never meant to hold you
          D     G
to your promise
         G         A7
And the years went by and
           D    n.c.
I'm still here

[Chorus]
        D            G
So you left for the city,
   A7                D
I hope you like it there
             Bm       G
You're only here now to
         D       A7
see the village fair
             D            G
You're just here for the music,
       A7                D
that's all, or could it be
              G        D
You miss the good old times
          A7          D
when you danced with me

[Verse 2]
A         D
So is the outside
G          D     G
as you imaginеd?
        D
Was it worth it,
 A7           D     n.c.
severing the tiеs?
          D     G
Happy to see me or
         D        G
a bit embarrassed?
           G        A7
There's a darkness deep
             D    n.c.
in your blue eyes

[Chorus]
        D            G
So you left for the city,
   A7                D
I hope you like it there
             Bm       G
You're only here now to see
     D       A7
the village fair
             D            G
You're just here for the music,
       A7                D
that's all, or could it be
              G        D
You miss the good old times
          A7          D
