       D                 Bm          D                   A
Well I thought she was a vision that stopped me with her smile

D           Bm       G               A
Down by the river we walked along in style

    D                   Bm             D               A
She says you're welcome back again and won't you stay awhile

D           G     A
Down by the Lagan side


Chorus

            D           G       A7
And when we dance we'll dance together

        A         A7        D
When we cry we'll hold each other

                       G       A
And when we love we'll love forever

                  D
Down by the Lagan side

  D                  Bm       D               A
I said who owns that music so full of joy and pain

         D              Bm              G               A
That the pipers and the harpers and the lambeg drummers play

    D                 Bm        D              A
She said who owns the teardrops falling in the rain

D           G     A
Down by the Lagan side

And when we love we'll love forever

    D            Bm        D                   A
And do you not remember we once walked side by side

        D                Bm           G           A
And the bells of Belfast City sang in harmony and pride

    D                Bm            D                  A
The past it has been taken but the future's yours and mine

Down by the Lagan side

When we cry we'll hold each other

And when we love we'll love forever

                  D
Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance we'll dance together

When we cry we'll hold each other

                       G       A
And when we love we'll love forever

                       G       A
And when we love we'll love forever

                  D
Down by the Lagan side
