                         G                                                                                                         G7  
I have travelled many lands and I still don?t understand
          C                                    Am                            D  
how sad you have become on my return.
                        G  
Your old heart is filled with care, sad and old they left you there,
             Am                                                 D                                    G  
your once wiped eyes with sorrow, softly burn.
                C                                    Am                              G  
I can even sense the change in the sound of children?s games
                     Am                                              D                                         G                                                 G7  
and the dreams of youths' ambitions have all turned to death and fear.
                     C                                            Am                                 G  
It?s an age of wealth I?m told, but I?ve never felt so old,
        Am                            D                              G  
as I recall old Dublin in my tears.
                     G                                                                                                 G7  
All the faces that I meet as I roam each one way street
     C                                      Am                                         D  
reflect the empty statements of the times.
                     G  
And the old cathedral bell can?t be heard above the swell
                     Am                                    D                                    G  
for the years erase the message in her chimes.
                  C                                                      Am                                 G  
All my childhood friends are gone, like the street where we were born,
                     Am                                      D                                 G                              G7  
and the time that it has taken doesn?t seem so many years.
                          C                              Am                                      G  
They have faded in the gloom with ?Sap' Kelly of the Crew,
                  Am                                         D                              G  
just a ghost of dear old Dublin in my tears.
                             G                                                                                                                              G7  
There were times when jobs were few, there were hungry days we knew,
             C                                            Am                         D  
some days so bad their memory I?ve cursed.
                     G  
And the prayer I said to God, there onboard the 'Princess Maud'
                        Am                                      D                                         G  
that our children would restore a pride we lost.
                          C                                         Am                                      G  
But their past they all forsake, as they're dancing at her wake,
                          Am                                         D                    G                            G7  
while the heart of Dublin?s dying, nobody really cares.
                     C                                                 Am                            G  
And the fools, as they pass by, laugh to see an old man cry,
                Am                                      D                              G  
oh, I can?t forget old Dublin in my tears.
                  G                                                                                                                                 G7  
Gather round brave men and true, though our numbers they be few,
                C                                            Am                                      D  
we?ll drink one toast before I cross the foam.
                                G  
For soon in London?s dark domain, I?ll recall how I became,
        Am                                    D                                              G  
no more a stranger there than here at home.
                     C                                 Am                      G  
Now the Liffey flows along and I listen to her song
                          Am                                                 D                                      G                         G7  
'till the voice of young James Larkin seems to echo in my ears.
                        C                                         Am                              G  
But it's just the rafters ring, to it?s requiem I sing,
          Am                                      D                              G  
farewell to dear old Dublin in my tears.
          Am                                      D                              G  
Farewell to dear old Dublin in my tears.
