1.                   Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

                           C         Am                          Dm    - G

    from glen to glen and down the mountain side.

                              C           C7                Dm       - F

    The summer's gone and all the roses falling,

                        C            G                     C

    it's you, it's you must go and I must bide.

 

        F       G   C                F             G          C

But come ye back, when summer's in the meadow,

         F    G  Am          F                 Em              G    - G7

or when the valley' s hushed and white with snow.

                 C    - C7     F                       C        - F

It's I'll be here        in sunshine or in shadow,

    Dm      C                  Dm     G           C

o Danny boy, o Danny boy I love you so.

 

    - Am - F             G         C            C7                          Dm       - F

2.                 But when ye come and all the flowers are dying,

                 C           Am                   Dm    - G

    if I am dead, as dead I well may be,  

                                C          C7                     Dm       - F

    You'll come and find the place where I am lying,

                             C         G                     C

    and kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
