Danny Boy
Frederic Weatherly

         G        G7                   C        Am
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
             G         Em                Am     D
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
             G         G7                  C      Am
The summer’s gone, and all the flowers are dying.
               G        D              G        D   D/F#
’Tis you, ’tis you must go, and I must bide.
             Em        C               G        D   D/F#
But come you back when summer’s in the meadow,
            Em       C                     D     D7
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow.
             G       C              G       Em
’Tis I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
    C     G              C      D        G    C   G
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so.


           G          G7                  C       Am
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying,
         G        Em              Am    D
And I am dead, as dead I well may be,
                G        G7               C       Am
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying,
              G       D              G     D   D/F#
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
            Em         C               G         D   D/F#
And I shall hear, tho’ soft you tread above me,
           Em          C               D     D7
And all my dreams will warmer, sweeter be,
               G       C                G        Em
And you’ll not fail to tell me that you love me,
    C      G                 C      D       G    C   G
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me.
