[C]Oh the pale moon was rising [F]'bove the green [C]mountain
The sun was declining be[D7]neath the blue[G7] sea
When I[C] strayed with my love o're the[F] pure crystle [C]fountain
That[F] stands in the[C] beautiful[G] vale of[C] Tralee
[Chorus]
She was[Am] lovely and fair as the[E] rose of the summer
Yet[Am] t'was not her beauty alone that won[G7] me
Oh[C] no t'was the truth in her[F] eyes ever[C] dawning
That [F]made me love[C] Mary the[G] rose of[C] Tralee
The cool shades of evening their mantles were spreading
And Mary all smiling sat listening to me
The moon through the vally her pale rays were shining
When I won the heart of the rose of Tralee
Though lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that I won
Oh no 'twas the truth in her eyes ever dawning
That made me love Mary the rose of Tralee
