Cifras
In The Rare Old Times

G                                                 C      G      Em  
Raised on songs and stories
                                C         G  
Heroes of reknown
                                                          C      G  
The passing tales and glories
                                     C              D  
That once was Dublin town
          G                                              C      G  
The hallowed halls and houses
          Em                                              C  
The haunting children's rhymes
             G                                 C  
That once was part Dublin
                  D                    G  
In the rare old times
G                                 C    G    Em  
Ring a ring a rosie
                                        C  
As the light declines
          G                                 C  G  
I remember Dublin City
                  D                    G  
In the rare old times
        G                                      C      G      Em  
My name it is Sean Dempsey
                                                  C    G  
As Dublin as could be
                                                          C         G  
Born hard and late in Pimlico
                                                C                      D  
In a house that's ceased to be
        G                                 C    G  
By trade I was a cooper
             Em                                 C  
Lost out to redundancy
                     G                                              C  
Like my house that fell to progress
        D                                 G  
My trade's a memory
     G                                 C      G      Em  
I courted Peggy Diagnam
                                             C            G  
As pretty as you please
                                                C  G  
A gentle child of Mary
                                        C         D  
From the rebel liberties
     G                                 C                 G  
I lost her to a student chap
             Em                                      C  
With skin as black as coal
                     G                                      C  
When he took her off to Birmingham
          D                              G  
She took away my soul
G                                 C    G    Em  
Ring a ring a rosie
                                        C  
As the light declines
          G                                 C  G  
I remember Dublin City
                  D                    G  
In the rare old times
The years have made me bitter
G                                 C    G    Em  
Ring a ring a rosie
                                        C  
As the light declines
          G                                 C  G  
I remember Dublin City
                  D                    G  
In the rare old times
Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey
G                                 C    G    Em  
Ring a ring a rosie
                                        C  
As the light declines
          G                                 C  G  
I remember Dublin City
                  D                    G  
In the rare old times
