Danny Boy
(Frederic Weatherly [1910], arrang. J. Ferguson, Dec. 2013)

120 bpm

Intro: C F Dm7 C G C

V1.
C F
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
C G G7
from glen to glen and down the mountainside.
C F Dm7
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling;
C G C
'tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide.

C F C
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
C G G7
or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
C F C Am
For, I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
C G C
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so.

Interlude: C F Dm7 C G C

V2.
And ye’ll come when all the flowers are dying,
and if I’m dead, as dead I well may be,
then ye will find the place where I am lying
and kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, though soft, your tread above me,
and, oh, my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
for ye will bend and tell me that ye love me,
and I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

V3. [optional]
But should I live, and if you die for Ireland,
may not your dying thoughts be just of me.
But say a prayer to God for our dear sireland;
I know he’ll hear and help to set her free.
And I will take your pike and place, my dearest,
and strike a blow, though weak that blow might be.
‘Twill help the cause to which your heart* was nearest.
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so.

Outro: C F Dm7 C G C
