An old Irish folk song with chords and lyrics

Danny Boy

                    C                           C7           F          Dm
  Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes... the pipes are calling,
 
           G7       C            Am                       Dm   G7 
 From glen to glen and down the mountain side.
 
                           C            C7                     F  
 The summer's is gone and all the leaves are falling,
 
                     C           Dm      G7      C
 It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
 

 C    Cdim  G7 C                Em                   C
 But come   ye back, when summer's in the meadow,
 
C     Cdim   G7 Am        F                 Em           Dm    G7 
 And when  the valley's hushed and white with snow.
 
               C7   C9    F                    C        Am   Am/g
 It's I'll be here in   sunshine or in shadow,

 Am Fm      C/e          Am     Dm7   G7         C 
 Oh, Danny Boy, Oh, Danny Boy, I love you so!
 
 

                  C                 C7                         F        Dm
 But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying

            G7         C         Am         Dm    G7
 If I be dead, as dead I well may be.

                         C          C7                        F
 Then come and find the place where I am lying,

                      C        Dm  G7         C
 And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

 
 C    Cdim  G7   C                  Em                   C
 And I       shall hear, though soft your tread above me,
 
C     Cdim  G7  Am           F            Em        Dm    G7 
 And all      my grave will warmer, sweeter be.

                      C7      C9  F                       C          Am   Am/g
 And you shall bend, and tell me that you love me,

 Am  Fm        C/e      Am          Dm7   G7        C
 And I   shall sleep in peace un-til you come to me.
