Introduction:
C C7 F F7 Bb Bbm
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
F Dm Dm7 G7 C7
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
F F7 Bb Bbm
The summer's gone, and all the roses fallin'
F Dm Gm7 C7 F Bb F
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
C7 F Bb Bbm F
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
C7 Dm7 F Bb F G7 C7
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
F F7 Bb Bbm F Dm G7
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Gm7 F Dm Dm7 Gm7 Bb C F Bb Bbm F
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
Verse
C F F7 Bb Bbm F
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
C7 Dm F Bb F G G7 C7
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
F F7 Bb Bbm F Dm G7
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
Gm F Dm Dm7 Gm7 Bb C F Bb Bbm F
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
Verse
C7 F Bb Bbm F
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
C Dm F Bb F G C7
And all my grave will warmer sweeter be
F F7 Bb Bbm F Dm G7
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
Gm7 F Dm7 Gm7 C7 F Bb Bbm F
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
