Danny Boy

1.

G7

Oh Danny

C

Boy, the pipes, the

C7

pipes are

F

calling

From glen to

C

glen, and

Em

down the

F

mountain

G7

side

The summer’s

C

gone, and all the

C7

flowers are

F

dying

Tis you, tis

C

you must

Dm

go and

G7

I must

C

bide.
Ch1.

G7

But come ye

Am

back when

F

summer’s

G7

in the

C

meadow

Or when the

Am

valley’s

F

hushed and

Em

white with

D7

snow

G7

Tis I’ll be

C

here in

F

sunshine or in

C

sha

Am

dow.

Oh Danny

C

Boy, oh Danny

F

Boy, I

G7

love you

C

so.
2.And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an “Ave” there for me.
Ch2.And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you’ll not fail to tell me that you love me
I’ll sleep in peace until you come to me.

1.

G

I wish I was in London

Or some other seaport

D

town

D

I’d step my foot on a steamboat

And sail the ocean

G

round
2.While sailing round the ocean
While sailing round the sea
I’d think of Handsome Molly
Wherever she may be
3.I went to church last Sunday
She passed me on by
I knew her mind was changing
By the roving of her eye
4.Her hair as black as a Raven’s
Her eyes were black as coal
Her teeth just like lilies
Out in the morning cold
5.Now do you remember Molly
When you gave me your right hand
Said if you ever married
Then I’d be the man
6.Now you’ve broke your promise
Go marry whom you please
My heart is broken
‘Til I get some ease

1.O the

G

summer

C

time

G

has come

And the

C

trees are sweetly

G

bloomin’

And the

C

wild

G

mountain

Em

thyme

Grows

C

around the

Am

bloomin’

C

heather

Will ye

G

go

C

lassie

G

go?
Ch.And we’ll

C

all go

G

together to pull

C

wild

G

mountain

Em

thyme

All

C

around the

Am

bloomin’

C

heather, will ye

G

go

C

lassie

G

go?
2.I will build my love a bower
By yon cool crystal fountain
And round it I will pile
All the wild flowers o’ the mountain.
Will ye go lassie go? Ch.
3.I will range through the wilds
And the deep glen sae dreamy
And return wi’ their spoils
Tae the bower o’ my dearie.
Will ye go lassie go? Ch.
4.If my true love she’ll not come
Then I’ll surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin’ heather.
Will ye go lassie go? Ch.
