Farewell To Dublin
Fare(C) thee well until we meet again down (F) by the (Dm) Liffey(G) water
I'll(C) bid farewell to Dublin and her(F) streets of cobble(C)stones
I'm going away to(F) leave you, my (C) friends and (G) all the(G7) girls, (G) too
Till(C) I return to (F) see you, fare(G)well old (G7) Dublin(G) town.
To the (C) city of our fathers, where (F) friends and (Dm) foe have (G) gathered
Where the (C) Norman, Dane and Saxon have (F) mingled with the (C) Gael
Administered the (F) kingdom but (C) soon the (G) Pale was (G7) ree(G)ling
To (C) cradle Ireland's (F) freedom in (G) dear old (G7) Dublin (G) town.
Down (C) by the river Poddle there was (F) whiskey, (Dm) stout and (G) coddle
It was (C) there with all the gentle folk, we (F) laughed and danced then (C) sang
And courted with your (F) daughters and (C) swam a(G)round your (G7) wa(G)ters
And (C) seen our buildings (F) slaughtered in(G) dear old (G7) Dublin (G) town.
I re(C)member in my childhood her (F) mountains (Dm) and her (G) wildwoods
I'd (C) read of all her heroes in the (F) classroom as a (C) boy
Of Thomas Street where (F) Emmet died, in (C) Sackville (G) Street they (G7) fought with (G) pride
Of the (C) times when brave Wolfe (F) Tone did ride through (G) dear old (G7) Dublin (G) town.
Her (C) poets they were many and her (F) writers (Dm) they were (G) plenty
There was (C) Swift with all his little folk and (F) Joyce and Molly (C) Bloom
Our heroes they're an (F) unsung gang, there's (C) Forty (G) Coats and (G7) ould Bang (G) Bang
And (C) Zozimus who (F) always sang of (G) dear old (G7) Dublin (G) town.
And (C) now I'm standing on the quay, my (F) destin(Dm)y's un(G)certain
Where (C) fortunes have lost and won with the (F) dealing of a (C) hand
The past it is a (F) purple haze, the (C) future (G) is an (G7) untold (G) maze
The (C) present is a(F)nother gaze at (G) dear old (G7) Dublin (G) town.
