Girl On The Greenbriar Shore

                  D                         G        D
    'Twas in the year of '92, in the merry month of June,

    I left my mother and a home so dear
                    A                        D   D G D A D
    for the girl I loved on the Greenbriar shore.

               D                                 G         D
    My mother dear, she came to me and said "Oh son, don't go,"

    "Don't leave your mother and a home so dear
               A                        D     D G D A D
    to trust a girl on the Greenbriar shore. "

               D                                       G        D
    But I was young and reckless, too, and I craved a reckless life,

    I left my mother with a broken heart,
                        A             D   D G D A D
    and I choosed that girl to be my wife.

                  D                                  G          D
    Her hair was dark and curly, too and her loving eyes were blue,

    her cheeks were like the red red rose,
                A                        D   D G D A D
    the girl I loved on the Greenbriar shore.

                      D                                       G     D
    The years rolled on and the months rolled by, she left me all alone,

    now I remember what mother said :
                   A                       D
    Never trust a girl on the Greenbriar shore.
